Education Cabinet Minister—can I also begin by congratulating you on your appointment as Minister for Education and Welsh Language? I know that the children of Islwyn and Wales will have no greater champion and I thank you for your informative statement today. 

Islwyn schools, children, staff, families and governors have done all they can and more to maintain learning and resilience during this unprecedented pandemic. And today's announcement that an extra £13 million will be provided to support the unique needs of early years learners, plus an additional £6.25 million to help schools build resilience through COVID is very warmly welcomed.

Minister, will you join me in celebrating the mammoth efforts of schools across Islwyn, and in particular Trinant Primary School and their headteacher, Mrs Sian James, for their hugely innovative work as part of the FareShare Cymru community? And will you, as education Minister firstly, accept an invitation to visit Islwyn—early in your term of office—to visit Trinant Primary School and see for yourself that excellent work that they are doing to ensure that every child progresses to reach that full potential? And also, will you join with me in welcoming the ministerial portfolios of well-being and the arts and joined-up working in promoting pupil potential and well-being and, obviously, in particular now, as the Welsh Government look to roll out the music Wales manifesto pledge, fulfilling young people's potential and equality of educational access and predicated on an ability to play and not pay?
