This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition There should be more free schools in England with properly qualified teachers
More details
Free schools are non-profit-making, independent, state-funded schools which are free for all to attend and are not controlled by a Local Authority.
It provides parents with a greater variety of choice in regards to what kind of education their child receives and it will ultimately benefit children from all backgrounds.
I would like the government to look into introducing more of these schools in England as there are only 174 of them which make up 1% of all English schools.
This petition closed early because of a General Election
