The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many state schools she has visited since 5 July 2024.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education prioritises visits to our state schools, which serve 93% of pupils in England. The Secretary of State for Education has visited 18 state schools from 5 July 2024 to 22 April 2025. This does not include visits taken in a political capacity or constituency visits, which are not organised by the department. This number also excludes visits to other educational settings, such as colleges, nurseries and universities.
