A-Level Results

Congratulations to all Rushmoor students who have achieved such excellent results in this year's A Level Exams. I have to admit that I am surprised at how much local students and teachers manage to achieve, despite the incredible levels of bureaucracy in our state run education system.
I will very soon be bringing a motion to council calling for parents in Hampshire to have the power to set up their own school and receive the money that would have been spent on their child's education in a failing school on education that best suits them.
If you look at the way this model has worked in Sweden you will see that it only takes about 10% of people to get involved in this kind of way to improve school performance for everyone. Competition works so well in improving standards in every other field of life. Surely it would be strange not to try it in the area that matters the most- education.
Please do turn up at the next council meeting to see what I hope will be a well informed debate on this issue.
