Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent steps she has taken to ensure the delivery of Betchwood Vale Academy.

The department is engaging with local authorities and trusts to advance the development of special and alternative provision free schools, aligned with our vision for the special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system.

We are working through these decisions to provide all local authorities with timely updates as quickly as possible.

We continue to be committed to ensuring that all children with SEND receive the support they need to achieve and thrive.
