Greg Clark met up with AXA PPP’s new CEO, Tracy Garrad, today to strengthen his ties with Tunbridge Wells’ largest private sector employer.

The future entrepreneurs of Tunbridge Wells converged at the Salomons Estate on Friday to see which school would win this year’s coveted Junior Enterprise Challenge.

Greg is urging local businesses throughout West Kent to be more open minded when it comes to providing work experience to students with learning difficulties.

Greg met with senior members of staff from both Skinners and Judd this afternoon at Skinners School to discuss the issue of student mental health.

Urgent steps must be taken to prevent the alarming increase in the number of accidents taking place at the central crossroads in Horsmonden, Greg has said.

With an increasing number of individuals opting to take up apprenticeships, Greg took the opportunity to mark National Apprenticeship Week by hosting a round table event at the Salomons Estate.

Greg had a tour of Skinners' Kent Primary School, meeting staff and pupils, ahead of meeting its Executive Headteacher, Sian Carr.

Greg was delighted to start a sponsored walk which was raising funds for Tunbridge Wells Youth Football Club to build a new clubhouse. Over 60 people took part in this event which raised a fantastic £6,000.

Greg was delighted to officially open a new outdoor classroom at Goudhurst & Kilndown CE Primary School.

The new building called 'The Hide', along with a beautiful re-landscaped pond will enhance the children's outdoor studies.

Greg visited Mascalls Academy in Paddock Wood to find out more about The Scholars Programme – a national scheme which gives school pupils from under-represented backgrounds an opportunity to experience university-style learning and encourage them to apply to university.
