Secondary Education: Cambridgeshire
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she made of the potential impact of Local Government Reorganisation upon the secondary school places in Huntingdonshire.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The department is reviewing all local government reorganisation proposals to consider the potential impact on children’s services, including school places. Huntingdonshire is in tranche three of the local government reorganisation process and the statutory consultation on proposals is expected to launch in Spring 2026. I encourage all local areas to respond to the consultation.
There will then be a transition period during which the department will work with local areas to support children’s services in the new authorities, including plans to ensure there are sufficient school places.
