Friend, the Secretary of State for Education meets with head teachers of schools to discuss issues including funding regularly. Our records show that on average, from February 2018 to date, my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education has met nine head teachers each month. This figure includes head teachers that he has met in formal meetings, visits and reference groups, but does not include the many other occasions where my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education has met head teachers in this time, including meetings, roundtable discussions, conferences, and events, nor does it reflect the other teachers and school staff he will have met during visits and meetings, so the actual figure is likely to be much higher.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 19/03/2019 14:45:58 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
