Written Question
Free Schools: Bolsover
Thursday 16th January 2025

Asked by: Natalie Fleet (Labour - Bolsover)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate she has made of when the review into the proposed North Derbyshire University Academy free school project in Bolsover will be completed.

Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The mainstream free schools review is ongoing and departmental officials are reviewing the latest information from Redhill Academy Trust and Derbyshire County Council. No decisions have been made yet and the department will not take decisions without considering the key evidence and data.

The department will update all trusts and local authorities on next steps shortly. We will also provide an update on the overall review in due course.
