Education Select Committee report

Asked for the No10 reaction to the Education Select Committee report on the White Paper, the PMOS said that what we recognised and welcomed was that there was support for independent trust schools and for local education authorities having a strategic role. We welcomed what the report had said on that, and we believed that it was a serious piece of work. We also noted that the Chairman had said that it was a good White Paper, with suggestions as to some things that might be "defined". We would study those suggestions, and give our response in due course. Fundamentally, people had to recognise that it did support independent trust schools.

There has been much debate about admission policy but I have seen very little comment on exclusion policy.

What will happen to a child that is excluded by one school and refused admission at any other ?
