Schools: Closures
(asked on 17th July 2017) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will list the schools that opened since 2010 that have closed in the middle of the school year; and how many pupils were on the school roll in each school at the time of closing.
The current school system has delivered places where they are needed, on time, to ensure that every child has a school place, with 735,000 new school places created between 2010 and 2016.
The 13 schools that have been opened and have since closed in the middle of a school year since 2010 are listed in the table below. The Department does not record the number of pupils on a school roll at the time of closing.
