	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/02/2016 answer text <p>Parents have the right to complain to an admission authority regarding its decision to refuse admission of a child. The admission authority must establish an independent appeals panel to hear the complaint. On behalf of the Secretary of State, the Education Funding Agency (EFA) will investigate complaints about the appeals process operated by independent appeal panels for academies and free schools.</p><p>The table below provides information on admission appeals complaints assessed as being in scope for investigation by EFA since April 2012, when it was established. EFA has no record of admission appeal complaints in the last four financial years from any Civil Society Organisations.</p><p>The Local Government Ombudsman (LGO) handles the appeals process operated in respect of maintained schools. The Department does not hold information on the number of admission appeals complaints heard by the LGO.

Some projects are deferred, withdrawn or cancelled, and some schools have closed. Deferral or cancellation can be for a variety and sometimes a combination of reasons, but overall it will have been because the department did not believe the free school trust was ready to open a free school offering a good or better education.</p><p>Contributory factors include a lack of site or building, insufficient pupil recruitment, under-developed leadership and/or governance arrangements. In each case, decisions will have been based on the progress of the project or school, and will have balanced the risk of opening on the original date, or remaining open, against all the elements needed to be in place for a successful school.</p><p>In the case of open free schools, they will have closed because they were not delivering a good or better education.</p><p><strong><br /> </strong></p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 01/11/2016 13:38:19 question first ministerially corrected 22/11/2016 10:33:57 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson previous answer version 17529 answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
