Lynda Welcomes One to One Funding Boost Children across Dudley Borough will benefit from £1,712,970 of funding for one-to-one tuition in state schools announced by the Labour government this week. Local MP Lynda Waltho has welcomed the announcement of this extra funding which will help to provide 10 hours of one-to-one tuition in English and maths for children at primary school and in the early years of secondary school who are falling behind in literacy and numeracy. Lynda Waltho, Labour MP for Stourbridge, said: “Thanks to the hard work of pupils, teachers and teaching assistants, together with record investment from the Labour government, many more children in Stourbridge are leaving primary school having mastered the 3Rs than a decade ago. *“In the Dudley Borough the number of children getting to the expected level at the age of 11 is up from just 62% in 1998 to 80% today in English and up from 56% to 79% in maths.* “But we want to do more to ensure that every child makes good progress. That’s why the Labour government is now ensuring that children who are falling behind at primary school or in the early years of secondary school get the extra help they need to catch up and get back on track. “This extra funding will mean thousands of children across Stourbridge will get one-to-one tuition in English and maths. But all this would be put at risk by the Tories, who want to cut school budgets from next year and oppose our guarantee of one-to-one tuition for children falling behind”			Lynda at St Stephens gate House of Commons
