Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an estimate of the number of students in state schools who have transferred from the private sector in the last year in Fylde.

The number of state school pupils in Lancashire decreased by more than 1,000 between January 2024 and January 2025. This suggests that any transfers from the private sector within the relevant local authority have been easily absorbed, alongside other pressures.
