HC Deb 08 July 1969 vol 786 cc233-4W
69. Sir G. de Freitas

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he is aware of the increase in the number of school children living in Burton Latimer, Northants, since 1945; and why no new school has been opened in Burton Latimer in the last 24 years.

Miss Bacon

Yes. In 1945 the Burton Latimer Schools took all the children from the ages of 5–14. Since 1953, children over 11 go to secondary schools in Kettering, leaving enough places in Burton Latimer Schools for the primary age children, despite the increase in their numbers.
