£1.39m extra for education and pupil support

£1.39m extra for Stoke-on-Trent

I'm delighted that Stoke-on-Trent will receive an additional £1.39m to raise education standards and to provide additional pupil support.

Our children and young people have suffered immensely during the pandemic with schools closed and homes schooling replacing the normal classroom based learning.

This additional funding will help to provide support to our most vulnerable children to bridge the gap created during the pandemic.
