Probation: West Yorkshire

Barry Sheerman asked the Secretary of State for Education if he agreed that admissions policy is at the heart of any policy in terms of opening up schools to pupils in a fair way. 

The Rt Hon Michael Gove replied: ''I intend to ensure that all free schools and all academies continue to abide by the existing admissions code, that all schools that are currently comprehensive remain comprehensive, and that schools are as inclusive as possible.''
