In her video message, Catherine commented:

“We know that children can’t excel at school unless they are in school. Sport can help get children back into the classroom, boosting their wellbeing and giving them a reason to be excited about school. 

Labour would support this by delivering a curriculum which prioritises getting the basics, such as reading, writing and maths right, but also providing greater opportunities for enrichment, including a greater focus on sports and music – the things that make coming to school fun.”
