Three schools in North Cornwall will benefit from the Rural Gigabit Connectivity (RCG) programme.

RGC is a two year, £200 million UK-wide programme focused on rural areas and the Government has initially prioritised sites including Cornwall.

The RGC Programme will trial a model connecting local hubs in rural areas, starting with primary schools. Working with the Department for Education, DCMS has identified the first 31 schools eligible for a connection under the scheme. These new speeds will enable whole classes to simultaneously surf the internet on tablets as part of structured lessons, and gives schools easier access to online training and educational learning.

The North Cornwall schools included:

- Blisland CP School

- St Kew Atlantic Centre of Excellence Academy

- Werrington Community Primary School

Delivering a world class education in North Cornwall

Scott wants the Government to address the disparity between pupil funding in urban and rural schools.It remains the case that a school in one part of the country can receive over 50 per cent more funding than an identical school in another part of the country, and it is important to make schools and early education funding fairer.

Supporting North Cornwall's families with the cost of living is my number one priority. This government has taken swift action to deal with the crisis, and although many of the issues causing price rises are due to issues outside of our control, we are doing everything we can to help.
