answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/04/2019 answer text <p>Since 2010, 921,000 school places have been created and the Government is on track to increase that to a million by the end of this decade. England has a diverse school system, with a range of schools including academies, free schools, faith schools, university technical colleges, and, in some areas, selective schools.</p><p>Parents are able to express at least three preferences when applying for a school place for their child and in some areas they can select six. The vast majority of parents will be allocated a place at one of their preference schools. In 2018, 91.0% were offered their first choice of primary school and 97.7% received offers from one of their top three, while 82.1% were offered their first choice of secondary school and 93.8% received offers from one of their top three.</p><p>Parents also have an element of choice around the curriculum their child will follow, such as when their child chooses which qualifications they will work towards during Key Stage 4. In addition, the diverse range of schools available means there are some differences in the curricula they offer. For example, academies and free schools have the freedom to determine their own curriculum, tailored to meet the needs of the pupils, as long as the curriculum is broad and balanced.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 15/04/2019 15:08:35 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	241392
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/04/2019 answer text <p>The traditions of individuals and congregations in the Church of England is not always easily identifiable, and it is often very difficult to label individuals and congregations accordingly. However, the Church is aware of its diversity of traditions and is committed to the growth of the whole Church. A key factor in all senior appointments is the energy candidates bring to evangelism and encouraging confident Christian witness, and of course, different candidates will step into this space in different ways.</p><p>The Church’s Strategic Learning Community and Senior Leadership Development programmes have been created to bring together clergy from across the church, from all traditions and backgrounds.
