Educational attainment in Pendle is worse than anywhere else in Lancashire which is an absolute travesty.
Local schools have set up The Pendle Challenge to change this. It’s based on a similar scheme set up in London which totally revolutionised how well children did.
The County Council have invested £100k into this scheme and we proposed that Pendle Council do the same. This was rejected by Labour and the Lib Dem’s at Pendle Council’s budget meeting.
Doing nothing isn’t an option. Our children’s futures are at stake. We’ll support the Pendle Challenge if we take control of the Council in May.
