My Rt hon. Friend, the Secretary of State, considered the impact on school places in Oldham as part of the decision making process for the closure of the Collective Spirit Free School.

For future years, Oldham has been allocated £44.2 million by the department for Education for the new school places the local authority reported were needed from 2017 to 2020. Any change in available capacity will be accounted for in future funding allocations.
