HC Deb 20 December 1963 vol 686 c283W
Mr. Willey

asked the Minister of Education how many children of 11 years of age and over were attending all-age schools on the latest date for which figures are available.

Sir E. Boyle

In January, 1963, there were 55,226 pupils aged 11 and over in all-age schools compared with 74,438 in the previous year. Building programmes up to and including 1964–65 will result in the elimination of all such schools.
