About our Bridget Phillipson news

Latest news on Bridget Phillipson, UK Secretary of State for Education in Keir Starmer's Labour government, covering her new role, political career, and views on key education and childcare issues.

Bridget Phillipson, born in 1983, has been appointed Secretary of State for Education following Labour's victory in the 2024 general election. This marks a significant milestone in Phillipson's political career, which began when she was first elected as MP for Houghton and Sunderland South in 2010.

As Education Secretary, Phillipson is responsible for overseeing England's education system, from early years through to higher education. Her appointment follows her role as Shadow Education Secretary since November 2021, where she developed Labour's education policies, including plans for funded breakfast clubs in primary schools and reform of the Ofsted inspection system.

Phillipson brings a unique perspective to her role, having grown up in a deprived area of Washington and attended a state school before studying at Oxford University. She has been a vocal advocate for improving childcare provision and reforming the skills system in England.

In her new position, Phillipson faces several challenges, including addressing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education, improving teacher retention, and implementing Labour's education reform agenda. She has previously called for a full curriculum and assessment review, improved careers guidance, and changes to the existing Apprenticeship Levy.
