§ 101. Mr. Snowasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what plans there are for the construction of a primary school for children living on the new Coal Industry Housing Association Estate and adjacent housing estates at Handsacre, near Rugeley, Staffordshire; and what is the proposed provision of secondary education for Armitage and Handsacre combined.
§ Mr. RedheadThe first instalment of a new primary school at Handsacre is included in the Staffordshire 1965–66 school building programme. I understand that the authority has not yet acquired a site and that meantime children are being accommodated in the Croft Primary School at Armitage. Children from Armitage and Handsacre attend secondary schools in Rugeley. A new school at Upfields was included in the authority's 1964–65 programme and additional secondary places are included in the 1967–68 programme. The precise form these places will take depends on 117W the outcome of proposals submitted to my right hon. Friend under Section 13 of the Education Act, 1944.
