MP HAILS STOURBRIDGE A GRADES GCSE students across Stourbridge were being congratulated on their exam success today by people across the area, including local MP, Lynda Waltho. Across the board there was cause for celebration as students celebrated 67.1% Grade A*-C passes, a massive increase on last year. Locally, parents and carers will be left wondering if investment in schools would mean a greater increase in grades. Lynda Waltho MP said: “I’m so proud of the students as well as their teachers and families, who’ve pulled together to achieve outstanding marks at GCSE. This shows that the system is working because top grades aren’t awarded without serious hard work. “Stourbridge’s GCSE students should be proud of what they’ve achieved. It’d be great to see all the area’s schools get these stellar results. The best chance of that happening is if the council paid heed to what the educational experts are saying an accepted central Government cash to improve the schools in which our students and teachers work so hard. The Government’s ambition is a state education system in which every child can succeed and can fulfil their potential. That requires a choice of excellent qualifications for all young people and excellent school facilities in which to achieve them. Local people will be watching closely to see how committed the council is, to accepting inward investment in Stourbridge’s schools.			Douglas Alexander MP and Lynda
