Letter to Michael Gove on school capital funding

London Councils wrote to the Secretary of State for Education drawing attention to the acute pressure on school capital funding we are currently experiencing in London.

The pressure for school places is much greater in London than elsewhere in the country. Local authority data collected by Partnerships for Schools highlights that pupil numbers in London will increase by 13% between 2009/10 and 2014/15 compared to 4% in the rest of England.
