Conor Burns, Michael Tomlinson and Robert Syms met with the Schools Minister, Nick Gibb MP, to discuss the Government delivering on their commitment to introduce a fairer national formula for schools. As Dorset is 11th from bottom in terms of per pupil funding, it is vital that we need to keep raising standards and securing more good school places for pupils, in order to deliver on a funding formula that works for pupils in Bournemouth & Poole. During the meeting they secured a commitment from the Minister that schools, parents and MPs will be able to have their say on the implementation in the New Year.
