State Education and Private Education
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she is taking to (a) promote and (b) support co-operation between the state and private education systems in England.
Answered by Stephen Morgan
Around 70% of private schools affiliated with the Independent Schools Council hold charitable status. As charities, they are required to demonstrate public benefit and one way in which they do that is through partnerships with state schools. This activity should continue.
