The government has approved the creation of a further 35 free schools in England which it says will create more than 22,000 additional school places.

Education secretary Nicky Morgan announced the approval at the Conservative Party conference inn Birmingham yesterday, saying the schools would “inject further choice, diversity and ideas into local communities across the land.”

The approved schools  will now start searching to locate sites, and will add to the 251 free schools already opened by the coalition government since 2010, and a further 112 already in the pipeline.
