Over 1,000 people have signed the Catholic Union’s open letter to the Education Secretary, Gillian Keegan, calling on her to lift the cap on faith-based admissions to new free schools.
The Catholic Union launched the “scrap the cap”campaign earlier in the summer.
Catholic schools in the UK are funded by the government and regulated by parliament. The current policy has made it impossible for new Catholic free schools to open in England as it would lead to pupils being turned away on the basis of their Catholic faith.
