(asked on 24th January 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what plans he has to remove the 50 per cent admissions cap on faith schools.
This question was answered on 31st January 2018
The ‘Schools that work for everyone’ consultation document proposed that we replace the 50% admissions cap on faith free schools with a series of strengthened safeguards to promote inclusivity.
We greatly value the important role faith schools play in our education system and as such, we plan to respond to these proposals regarding the establishment of new faith free schools in due course.
