Grateful @josephpowell for the recognition of @StMarysTrust in Parliament.
The Trust takes a strategic, future-facing approach—investing in children of 🇺🇦 & 🇬🇧.
The Bilingual School project aims to shape the next generation of democratic leaders.
St. Mary’s Ukrainian Trust has done exceptional work supporting thousands of displaced Ukrainian children by expanding their community schooling and pioneering trauma-sensitive approaches to education.
They are now working to open the UK’s first bilingual Ukrainian secondary school in Kensington & Bayswater — a brilliant idea to support children further.
I raised the idea in the House last week and was reassured by the supportive response from the Leader of the House, and I look forward to meeting Education Ministers in due course to discuss it further.

“It’s the language they used to interrogate my uncle,” she said.
No child should have to study the language of their trauma.
It’s time to offer Ukrainian as a GCSE subject — for healing, identity, and inclusion.

It was great to visit St Mary's Ukrainian School to hear about plans to create a bi-lingual school. I also met with members of the Youth Council, empowering young people to prepare for leadership roles. These initiatives are a key pillar of the UK/Ukraine 100 year partnership.
