Closed 12 Dec 2016

Opened 12 Sep 2016

Overview

We’re seeking views on proposals to create more good school places.

Why your views matter

We’re consulting on proposals to create more good school places. The proposals include:

  • expecting independent schools to support existing or open new state schools, or offer funded places to children whose families can’t afford to pay fees
  • asking universities to commit to sponsoring or setting up new schools in exchange for the ability to charge higher fees
  • allowing selective schools to expand, or new ones to open, while making sure they support non-selective schools
  • allowing new faith free schools to select up to 100% of pupils based on their faith, and introducing new requirements to make sure that faith schools include pupils from different backgrounds
