Labour responds to new Sutton Trust polling

Stephen Morgan MP, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Schools, responding to new Sutton Trust polling of teachers reporting that half of senior leaders say school trips and outings have had to be cut, said: 

“The damage that 13 years of Conservative government is doing to our children’s life opportunities is being laid bare. 

“Children are missing out on the enrichment brought by school trips, sports, drama and are having their subject choices at GCSE limited because of the government’s continued neglect of our schools.

“Labour will deliver high and rising standards in every school, for every child, by recruiting thousands of new teachers - funded by ending tax breaks for private schools – to ensure every child gets the best standards of teaching and learning.”
