Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she expects to respond to the letter from Dorset County Council seeking to prevent St Ives School increasing its age range.
The letter referred to, dated 27 May, was received by the Department for Education on 3 June and we intend to respond as soon as possible. The department aims to respond to correspondence we receive within 15 working days, in line with government standards.
We have no plans to publish the letter, but the correspondent is free to do so should they wish.
