  • Shortage of School Places and 'shrinking schools':

    • Reference: 2012/3869
    • Question by: Caroline Pidgeon
    • Meeting date: 19 December 2012
    I am concerned by the recommendation in the Education Inquiry that you should support schools to redesign their buildings and to 'do more with less', essentially reconfiguring the layout of schools in order to fit in more pupils and address the shortage of school places. Do you not agree that this is a step towards 'shrinking schools', which might have inadequate space for activities outside the classroom and could threaten the inclusion of disabled children in mainstream schools? On this basis, will you reject this particular recommendation?

    How do you explain the decision to award the University of East London (UEL) a further £51,000 over the next financial year to train and support mentors, when they have failed dramatically to deliver on your original ambition for the establishment of 1,000 mentoring relationships over the initial three year period?
