England’s latest PISA results show pupils performing strongly internationally in maths, reading and science, with England now among the top-performing countries across all three subjects.

It is a powerful reminder that good policy takes time, focus and proper implementation to deliver results.

In the latest episode of CPF Voices, former Schools Minister Sir Nick Gibb reflects on the importance of strong policy formation, clear thinking and seeing reform through over the long term.

A fantastic day at the South West CPF Conference at Taunton Racecourse!
It was great to welcome members and supporters from across the region for a day of discussion, ideas and practical policy thinking.

A huge thank you to Rt Hon Sir Mark Spencer, Rt Hon John Glen MP, Andrew Fox, James Price, James Wright and John O'Connell for joining us and sharing their insights across discussions on the rural economy, UK/US relations and reducing tax.
Most importantly, thank you to everyone who got involved in the table discussions, shared their experiences and put forward ideas for future policy.

That's what CPF is all about: bringing together real-world experience and different perspectives to help inform Conservative policy thinking.
Your region. Your voice. Our future.

What is the Conservative Policy Forum?
Sometimes it’s easier to start with what it isn’t.

CPF isn’t about agreeing with the room. And you certainly don’t need to be a policy expert to get involved.

CPF is about bringing together people with different perspectives, to ask the difficult questions, and come up with practical solutions.

It’s a place to challenge assumptions and, often, share the insight that comes from experiencing the issues we’re trying to solve.

Because good policy needs challenge. And more than one perspective.
Bring your experience. Bring your ideas. Join the conversation.

At our latest Natural Environment workshop with The Rt Hon Dame Theresa Villiers DBE, we discussed some of the difficult realities facing our countryside and the people who care for it.
Farmers play a vital role in protecting and managing our environment, but effective conservation requires us to be honest about the trade-offs involved. Conservative policy must be practical, evidence-led and grounded in what is actually happening on the ground.
Do you have first-hand experience or expertise in these areas?

💬 Real experience. Real ideas. Better policy.
The people who experience the challenges facing our country are often the people who understand them best.
That's what the Conservative Policy Forum is about: bringing together members and supporters from different professions, communities and backgrounds and creating opportunities for their experience and ideas to inform Conservative policy thinking.
Through national consultations, events, local groups and Member Expert Groups, there are plenty of ways to get involved.
You don't need to be a policy expert. You just need experience, ideas and a willingness to contribute
Share your experience. Share your ideas. Help shape the conversation.
