Today we remember those who have given their lives in conflict to protect our country

Thank you to organisers across Bracknell Forest who have worked so hard to put on events throughout the last month and today

Lots of education-focused work this week with the Curriculum and Assessment Review, and visits to Uplands and Fox Hill Primaries

Here's my update on what I've been doing to represent you this week

The Curriculum and Assessment Review is a massive step forward - promising our young people more enrichment, more creativity and more focus on essential skills

A Skills Passport will help young people and employers recognise these skills and how they have developed

Support for LGBT people is fundamental to my British values

When a ReformUK MP compares that to backing Hamas, it needs calling out

Last Friday people across the country wore it pink to raise money and awareness for breast cancer research

Thanks Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue for having me join your forest fire training session - an incredible example of the co-ordinated action and prevention practised year-round to avoid tragedies like the 2011 Swinley Forest fire. It's vital we keep our forests resilient to rising temperatures

Proud to be elected by colleagues to join the Education Select Committee
I'll be using my voice on the committee to make sure young people are given the best possible start, including those with SEND. And that the experience of parents & professionals at every stage of education guides our ambitions
