SHADOW Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has praised the University of Worcester’s approach to inclusion during a recent visit.
Ms Phillipson was given a tour of the University’s facilities, including The Hive, which has won awards for its inclusive design.
Following the visit, she said: “The Hive is an incredible community resource for students and residents alike. I saw schoolchildren and parents using the facility, as well as students from the University. It breathes life into the city.
“The University makes such a contribution to the life of the city. So much is made available to local people. It’s been a real pleasure to see that first hand.”
Ms Phillipson was appointed as the Shadow Secretary of State for Education by Labour leader, Sir Keir Starmer, in November last year. During her time in office she has called for reform of early years education.
