The Diocese of East Anglia will be one of the first dioceses to take advantage of the Government’s decision to remove the 50 per cent admissions cap on free schools.
In a statement released today, the diocese announced that up to eight new primary and secondary schools are in the pipeline to counter the shortage of school spaces for Catholic pupils in East Anglia.
The Government announced the proposal in September, which was followed by a consultation which ended yesterday. If the admissions cap is lifted following the consultation, the diocese will be at liberty to act straight away and open their proposed schools.
