Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether the Government has made an assessment of parents' preferences between increasing (a) faith and (b) non-faith school places.
This question was answered on 6th March 2017
The latest figures for the secondary school application round show that there is a higher demand by parents for places in faith schools in relation to offers than there is for non-faith school places. They also show that parents’ relative preferences for faith and non-faith school places have remained stable over the last 3 years.
