Proceeding contribution from Lord Foster of Bath (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Academies Bill [Lords].
Academies Bill [Lords]
May I say how much I welcome many of the freedoms that the Secretary of State proposes, not least freedom for teachers and freeing up the curriculum? On consultation with local education authorities, the Secretary of State will be aware that in my constituency Oldfield girls school wants to become an academy but the local authority's reorganisation plan to reduce surplus places envisages it as a co-educational school. Can he assure me that he will not approve academy status if the school remains a single-sex school?
