I thank my hon. Friend for his kind words. The Vaughan is an outstanding school, and the diocese and the Department are determined to do everything possible to ensure that it remains outstanding in the future. One of the changes that is being made in the other place by my noble Friend Lord Hill is a change to the provision that relates to governors, to ensure that parent governors and foundation governors who are drawn from the ranks of parents accurately represent the parents' wishes, because part of the Vaughan's success has been the close relationship between the parents who love the school and the teachers who have made it so great.

I thank the Secretary of State most warmly for his personal efforts in trying to resolve this matter and in ensuring that, finally, the diocese caved in last week and a head teacher was appointed in line with parent wishes, but I wonder what lessons can be learned—in particular, to ensure that, in future, education authorities, whether or not diocesan, understand that the whole ethos of our policy is to enable parents, not education authorities, to have the dominant say in the governance of schools?

In the past week, I have spoken to parents at the Vaughan and the diocesan authorities. I am confident that the appointment of a new headmaster will bring new harmony.

We have received a number of letters in relation to governance issues at Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School. In a small number of these admission issues are mentioned.It is for the independent Schools Adjudicator to consider any objections to schools' admission arrangements. For Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School, the Schools Adjudicator reached a determination on 18 December 2009 which can be found at:"http://www.schoolsadjudicator.gov.uk/upload/ADA1720%20Cardinal%20Vaughan%20Revised%2025May2010.doc"Following the Schools Adjudicator's decision, the school, which is its own admission authority, has now revised its admission arrangements in accordance with the Adjudicator's determination.
