The government is due to announce that it'll spend an extra ?600million on building 100 new Free Schools. This is anticipated to occur over the next 3 years.
12 of the colleges are to be selective expert maths schools, which may worry some people, but be good news for those that see selective colleges are a method of improving standards and stretching gifted children. The consultant faculties are suggested for 16-18 year olds, the age group that study for A levels. They'll have robust links with good college maths departments. The concept is they will assist in creating notable mathematicians.
Federal government fund Free Schools but they are run by independent suppliers, which can go from elders to universities and businesses. It is expected the money won't come from the existing education budget, but we cannot know till Tuesday when the plans are announced.
Our question is about where these new colleges will be built. Hopefully they are going to be built where there's demand for them, not where the government want them to be built. Free Schools are sometimes authorised if there is a requirement for places or they are going to be built in a 'deprived ' area. We know there are lots of areas where pupils struggle to be offered a place at their favourite faculties. So it is no surprise that folks and other interested parties have taken matters into their own hands and milked the relaxed central authority education policy which permits folk apart from the state to open community colleges, and organized new colleges to be built or used buildings within their communities for educating local youngsters.
The selective nature of a number of these schools seems to be going against what Free Schools are supposed to be, indeed, on a government website it states:
Free Schools are all-ability state-funded schools set up in response to what local people say they need and want so as to improve education for children in their community. (http://www.education.gov.uk/freeschools 27/11/11)
Has govt policy changed? Either <a href="http://www.schooladmissions.co.uk/blog/">Free Schools</a> are for all youngsters regardless of their capability or they are not, the suggested situation leaves us with a lot of questions which hopefully will be answered very soon.
