Supporting Local Schools

Suzanne Webb MP supporting local schools

One of the best things about being an MP is getting out-and-about in the constituency. 

I frequently visit and support local schools across Stourbridge.
 
The pandemic has meant that the past few years have been incredibly challenging for young people. Yet at every school I visit, I am in awe of the tenacity and resilience shown by students and staff.
 
The young people I have met are a credit to their schools, families, and community and I am assured that the future is very bright!

I will continue to support our schools to ensure that they are delivering the highest quality of education to our young people. 

You can keep up-to-date with my work with and visits to local schools on this page.
