Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government what is their policy on supporting education in the medium of Welsh for pupils living in England.
This question was answered on 22nd July 2025
The government recognises the cultural and linguistic importance of the Welsh language, which is reflected in the provision of Welsh-medium teaching for pupils living in Wales. In England, there is no requirement for schools to provide education through the medium of Welsh. However, schools have the flexibility to support pupils who speak Welsh or wish to learn the language.
