“ Have a read of this:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-28323859 - "London needs 15,000 more school places to meet demand, says report", 16 July 2014, BBC News website.
We'll need more than a couple of squeezed in classes in existing schools to meet the demand.
So more new schools need to be opened, whether traditional state schools, academies or free schools, all of which are of course state schools as they are all-state funded.
Agree about avoiding faith-based education though - keep schools secular and follow the national curriculum. ”
