David Burrowes MP has welcomed the Government’s decision to progress the application of St Andrew the Apostle Greek Orthodox Free School to the next stage of the Free Schools process.
The Greek Orthodox Free School will be the first of its kind in the UK and officials from the Department of Education will now be working with the school to ensure they have all the support they need. The Secretary of State will then decide whether to enter into a Funding Agreement with the schools so that they can officially open their doors in September 2013.
David Burrowes MP said: “I am delighted that the application for St Andrews has been approved. I have been supporting the call for a Greek Orthodox school in Enfield for some time and believe that St Andrew’s will provide more choice for parents and raise standards for children within the area”.
