Supporting Woking schools and education

jl with students

Jonathan has welcomed the news that from 2017 to 2018, 65 schools in the local area have registered outstanding or good in their OFSTED ratings, compared to 8 in 2010-2011.

Jonathan commented that 'It is fantastic that the hard work of our teachers is clearly being recognised in providing the tools our local children need to prepare them for later life. Whilst there is always more work to be done and improvements to be made in the education we provide, my recent visit to Knowl Hill School underlined the great environment in which many of our Woking children are learning and growing.'
