Joy has successfully secured funding from the government to upgrade some of our local school buildings. Joy has also been active in promoting Buckinghamshire’s excellent education system and protecting our grammar schools.
The National Film and Television School are teaming up with Pinewood Studios to train the next generation of UK filmmakers. This partnership, to be based in Buckinghamshire, is hugely positive and progressive in the mission to fill the current skills gap that is opening up within the film industry.
Happy birthday to the National Film and Television School which is 50 this year!
Their graduates have been influencing the cultural life of the UK for half a century.
Fantastic to see this wonderful institution working with schools to find the next generation of award winning talent.

One of the aspects of being an MP that I enjoy the most is working with local schools. Last week I had the great pleasure of meeting virtually with teachers, pupils and the Student Council at The Beaconsfield School. I thoroughly enjoyed our Q and A, thank you for having me!
Last night I was invited to participate in a BBC Newsnight panel on the Government Roadmap to get us out of lockdown.
I stressed the importance of the March 8th deadline to open up our schools and the pressure school closures have put on parents and children.
It is so important that schools are going back on March 8th. Yesterday, in the Covid-19 General Debate, I talked about the terrible impact of lockdown and school closure on our children.
Last week I was delighted to be invited to a virtual event at Bourne End Academy. The Student Leadership Team asked some great and probing questions, undoubtedly showing their talents as leaders of the future. Thank you for having me!
Earlier today, I highlighted to the Prime Minister the serious problems caused when primary-age children cannot go to school.
It was great to hear the PM say that the Government will work as fast as possible to get schools open.
All possible thanks to our vaccine program.
This morning, at HM Treasury questions, I impressed upon the Chancellor the importance, to women working across the country, of reopening schools.
It is vital that everyone can make their full contribution to our economy and this is an essential step for that to happen.
