Written Question
Schools: Admissions
Monday 15th June 2015

Asked by: Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to ensure there is an adequate number of school places; and if she will make a statement.

Answered by Sam Gyimah

Supporting local authorities to create school places where they are needed most is one of the Department’s top priorities. The Coalition Government invested over £5 billion in providing new school places between 2011 and 2015, and this Government has committed to a further £7 billion in capital funding between 2015 and 2021. Local authorities have risen to the challenge, delivering 445,000 new places since 2010, with many more in the pipeline.
