MP appeals to Government Minister to fund new Withernsea High School

GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS MINISTER Nick Gibb is touring Withernsea High School today after accepting an invitation from Graham Stuart MP.

Graham Stuart has arranged the visit to highlight the case for funding a new school in the resort. Withernsea High School was one of many schools that missed out when the previous government’s Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme was abolished. In anticipation of the visit, the MP said recently:

“Withernsea High School has been passed over too many times and, I know, that if funding for a new school can be secured it will be a huge boost not just for the school, but for the town of Withernsea. I have already raised the issue of funding for Withernsea High School with the Secretary of State in the House of Commons and will continue to work as hard as I can to make sure the school and the community get the regeneration and support they need."

The Minister is expected to talk to staff, pupils and education chiefs at the school.
