I was delighted to today formally open the Sevenoaks campus of the Tunbridge Wells Grammar School for Boys. This is a huge milestone for our area and one that has only come about due to years of campaigning by parents, local councillors and my predecessor Sir Michael Fallon. I am proud to have supported it since my election campaign.
In 2010, Sevenoaks only had one local choice of secondary schools for girls and one for boys. We now have three schools for each to choose from. This means more boys and girls are getting their top choice of school, with no need to travel out of area for grammar provision, and less time spent on the school run.
Politics can really make a difference. Our boys grammar annex would not have happened under the Lib Dems, they oppose the grammar annex policy. Thank you to everyone who has voted Conservative at a county, district, town and national level, and helped put this amazing school in place; I will do all I can to support it.
