HC Deb 25 November 1969 vol 792 c72W
Mr. Lane

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many 11 to 18 comprehensive schools have been established in the last five years; and what proportion of them were purpose-built.

Miss Bacon

The precise information is not available but between April, 1966, and April, 1969, 339 comprehensive schools were established providing either for the 11–16 or the 11–18 age range. Of these, 46 were purpose built but others involved the extension and alteration of premises.
