Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps he is taking following breaches of the admissions code in recruiting students to an accelerated Key Stage 4 programme by Warrington UTC .

The department is aware that concerns have been raised about whether Warrington University Technical College’s (UTC) recent actions are in breach of the Admissions Code. We are taking this seriously and are in discussions with the UTC, the local authority and representatives from local schools.
