Josh Reynolds has always been passionate about education. He successfully lobbied the council to secure holiday food vouchers for children receiving free school meals during Covid following the campaign by Marcus Rashford.
Josh said, “Being brought up in Maidenhead, I know what an amazing education I received in our fabulous schools. I was at Furze Platt Senior, but any of the schools in Maidenhead give a first-class education – we are so lucky here. “But it is true that there is a major problem of a backlog of repairs in many of our schools, and a real problem with funding which needs to be fixed.
“The Lib Dem schools’ plan will fix many of the issues that the Government has consistently failed to deal with, letting down children and parents. They have also failed to grasp the scale of the damage that the pandemic has done to children’s learning and mental health.
“I will make sure we invest in education, starting in the crucial early years and continuing throughout adulthood. We want every child to get the support and attention they need at school, so they leave with the skills, confidence and resilience to be happy and successful whatever they choose to do next.”
