The school which launched the Reeves sisters into politics would fail under Labour reforms, claim Tories Tories claim improvements to the school which educated two of Keir Starmer’s cabinet ministers would not have been allowed by Labour’s education reforms.
The school which educated chancellor Rachel Reeves and her sister, the Labour chair Ellie Reeves, would have been held back by the reforms the government introduced this week, the Tories have claimed.
Ms Badenoch said on her trip to the school: “Labour’s Schools Bill is a piece of educational vandalism.
“I visited the Harris Girls’ Academy in Beckenham to see the reality of the successful reforms the Conservatives brought in for schools.
I don’t remember the Tories caring about Cator Park girls when I was there in the 90s when we had lessons in huts & not enough books to go round.
