Anne McIntosh – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Anne McIntosh on 2014-06-12.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent representations he has received on funding sixth forms in rural schools.

Mr David Laws

The Department for Education has received three letters recently on funding sixth forms in rural schools. We recognise the importance of rural schools, many of which are small schools, and the need to maintain access to a local school in rural areas. Often these schools are at the heart of their community.
