Amendment 201, tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Burt, would require the Secretary of State to publish information about schools’ admission arrangements, including any faith-based arrangements, and schools to provide the necessary information to the department. In Committee, the noble Baroness indicated that this amendment would show how many parents are missing out on their preferred school place due to religion, but the department already publishes data on how many applicants were made an offer at their preferred school. Nearly 99% of primary pupils and 96% of secondary pupils attended one of their preferred schools.
