MP calls for details of school plan
MP Denis MacShane has again expressed his dismay at the refusal of the Department for Education to reveal details of the proposal for Rotherham Central Free School in his constituency.
The Yorkshire Post revealed earlier this month that Rotherham Council expects the school – backed by a Chuckle Brother – to be unable to open as there are no confirmed plans, staff or pupils in place despite the planned secondary being among those given the go-ahead to open this year.
Mr MacShane is now making a formal complaint.
In a letter to Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove, the MP said: “It seems unfair to me for my constituents to be under-informed on a large investment of public money due to open in September. There has still been no public outlet of information from the proposers, Future Access Schools, and to this day we still have no idea where the school might be located.”
