We start from a position of strength. This government has a proud record of school reform. We have opened up the system, introducing a real diversity of provision. We have schools where teachers and headteachers are free to make the decisions that are best for them. And through successful policies such as a renewed focus on learning the basics of r...
So as we radically expand the number of good school places available to all families – not just those who can afford to buy an expensive house, pay for an expensive private school, or fund the extra tuition their child needs to succeed – I want to encourage more people, schools and institutions with something to offer to come forward and help.

It is not a proposal to go back to the 1950s but to look to the future, and that future I believe is an exciting one. It is a fu...
