Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will publish the outcome of Ilkley Grammar School and the Moorland Trust's application to open a 1,000 place sixth form college under the Free School programme.
Answered by Nick Gibb
Successful applications from wave 13 of the free schools programme were announced on 14 June 2019. The application from Moorlands Learning Trust was not successful, due to a lack of need for additional post-16 places in the proposed location of the school.
