Lewisham deserves a change. Read what Duwayne Brooks will do for schools after he is elected.
Fix failing schools
• Set up a commission to look at why our secondary school performance is so poor compared to other boroughs including our neighbours.
• Create a team to look at Free School applications and work with parents to develop ideas on how we can ensure enough new primary school places are created to meet the increased demand.
• Set up a fund, to which voluntary organisations can apply for funding to provide free school holiday play schemes to support families in Lewisham.
• Provide faster assessments/statements and extra support for families with SEN children. Ensuring those with mobility issues can safely park on school premises.
• Allow an independent body to hear all school admission and exclusion appeals to bring back confidence in the system.
