He said: “It was fantastic to visit Bridlington School and hear about the brilliant work they do.

"Thank you to headteacher Kate Parker-Randall for a tour of the school and a chance to see the outstanding dedication of the teaching staff, and the wide range of additional support services they offer pupils.

"I look forward to working with the school as we explore opportunities through the £20 million of funding for West Bridlington, secured through the Pride in Place scheme.

"Fun fact: The longest penalty ever kicked in rugby union was scored on the pitch at Bridlington School by Ernie Cooper in 1944 when he nailed an 81 yarder.”
