tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL3224
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/12/2014 answer text <p>Large numbers of independent schools are in partnership with state schools; the Independent Schools Council found that 92% of its member schools were operating some form of partnership. At the start of 2014 the Department for Education held a successful conference to promote such partnerships, and last month the Department announced that 18 new primary sector partnerships would be getting DfE funding for their start-up costs. Ideally partnerships draw on the strengths of each member school to maximise advantage for all pupils. There is no lack of enthusiasm, and it is a genuine desire for partnership which is required, not a centrally imposed standard which would just result in partnerships being created that have no real substance.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 01/12/2014 15:38:33 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
