Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, which free schools are planned to open in September 2014; and how many students each such school plans to admit in September 2014.

To date the Secretary of State for Education has agreed to enter into funding agreements for 62 schools due to open in September 2014. In addition, the Department for Education is working with proposer groups to open around 20 further schools where the funding agreement has not yet been agreed. In total these schools will provide about 10,000 new school places this academic year and around 44,000 places when they have reached their intended capacity.
