Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to his Department's response to FOI request FOI: 2018-0002247 CRM:0741007, if he will publish the location of the three grammar schools which contacted his Department in January and February 2017 to enquire about expansion onto a separate site from the existing school.

The locations of the three schools that contacted the Department were withheld under Section 36(2)(c) of the Freedom of Information Act. Disclosure of the information would be likely otherwise to prejudice the effective conduct of public affairs. A public interest test was carried out and the decision to withhold this information is maintained.

One of the three schools that contacted the Department suggested a specific site for an annex. This was on land adjacent to the current school site and within the same local authority area.
