§ Mr. BradyTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what representations her Department has received from parents who have been denied a school place for their child as a result of the class size limits since their introduction. [14397]
§ Mr. TimmsWe have received occasional representations from parents who believe they were not offered a place at a preferred school because of the infant class size limit. However, in implementing its infant class52W size pledge, the Government have funded a net increase of 12,000 places at popular schools. This has helped more parents get a place for their child at a school they have chosen.
