The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an assessment of the potential impact of cooperation between state and independent schools on state schools.

Answered by Stephen Morgan

My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education does not plan to make an assessment of the potential impact of cooperation between state and private schools on state schools.

Many of the schools involved in cross sector partnership working carry out their own impact assessments of the activities they are involved in, though the department does not endorse or assure such assessments.
