Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans the Government has to expand the number of primary school places in Wolverhampton.
This question was answered on 9th October 2017
Local authorities are responsible for planning and securing sufficient school places in their area, and supporting them in doing so is one of this Government’s top priorities. Wolverhampton has received £19 million for new places between 2011 and 2017 and has been allocated a further £6 million for 2017 to 2020. In summer 2016, the City of Wolverhampton Council reported that they had firm plans in place to provide 555 primary school places by September 2018.
