Written Question
Faith Schools: Admissions
Wednesday 13th September 2017

Asked by: Stephen Pound (Labour - Ealing North)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what her policy is on the removal of the cap on faith admissions; and if she will make a statement.

Answered by Anne Milton

Schools play a vital role in promoting integration and promoting an understanding of different faiths and communities. We will continue to work closely with Church and faith schools to promote and support integration and will set out further details of our approach in this area and in relation to the 50% cap on faith admissions in faith free schools in due course.
