Visit to KEVICC Totnes

Thanks to Kate Mason, Principal of KEVICC, Patrick, Billie and Steven for taking the time to discuss issues for KEVICC. It was particularly good to have the opportunity to hear from two sixth form students of their experiences and ideas for the future. The best feedback always comes from a school's own pupils.

A consistent problem is the disparity in funding between Devon and the rest of the country. I would strongly recommend visiting the fairer funding website to find out more and add your name to the petition to improve funding for Devon's children.

A tour of the school quickly establishes where KEVICC could benefit from greater investment if it had fairer funding. The poor quality of the many ancient temporary classrooms are in stark contrast with the environment within a newer block.

Clearly Kate Mason and her team are keen to encourage feedback from the people who matter most, their own pupils.
