"Livingstone Academy is one of 28 planned mainstream free schools that the Government is due to axe, after carrying out a year-long review into whether they offered value for money. The Department for Education (DfE) confirmed in December plans for only 16 of the 44 reviewed mainstream free schools would proceed, while it was minded to cancel the remaining 28 projects. Trusts and councils can appeal the decision."
"The Department for Education (DfE) confirmed in December plans for only 16 of the 44 reviewed mainstream free schools would proceed, while it was minded to cancel the remaining 28 projects. Trusts and councils can appeal the decision. The announcement came as the Government pledged to create 50,000 more school places for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in mainstream schools in England."
Plans to build Livingstone Academy West London as part of the Stag Brewery regeneration face cancellation after the Government reviewed 44 planned mainstream free schools and proposed axing 28. The Department for Education confirmed only 16 of the reviewed projects would proceed, with trusts and councils allowed to appeal. The Government pledged to create 50,000 additional mainstream school places for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and to invest at least £3 billion over three years, partly funded by cancelling some mainstream projects. The plan also commits to delivering 10,000 planned special free school places via new builds or council funding. Education officials cited falling primary rolls and a marked rise in pupils with SEND as reasons for reallocating resources.
