Schools: Closures
(asked on 3rd March 2026) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government how many private schools have closed since 1 September 2024, or have announced that they will close at the end of this academic year.
This question was answered on 30th March 2026
The number of private school closures is publicly available from the ‘Get Information about Schools’ website. Where local circumstances show that converting a private school into a state funded school would meet local demand for school places, the conversion may be considered through the established legal process.
