It is for those parents and children that I urge the Government, at this last hour, to find a loophole for small faith schools and schools that focus on international pupils whose parents work here and know that their child needs smaller and more focused classes. For those children, I sincerely urge a rethink. The Minister could move the threshold to large schools, if that is what he is aiming for, or come up with a system that gives small faith schools a chance to survive. The Government must leave small schools and faith schools to educate children with a world view that has a nod towards parental values and moral concerns.
