Mr. Drew
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the Government's strategy is towards small school sixth forms. [117675]
Mr. Ivan Lewis
We have said many times in the House that we have no intention of closing small school sixth forms where they are successful and popular and meet the needs of their communities. Indeed such sixth forms are an important part of the pattern of provision. They should be supported to build on their success where, in collaboration with others, they continue to offer a range of high quality learning opportunities.
