Speaking in the House of Commons, Alok Sharma congratulates the All Saints junior free school in Reading which will help parents obtain their choice of feeder school.
Alok Sharma (Reading West) (Con): Will the Secretary of State join me in congratulating the All Saints junior free school, which opened its doors in my constituency in September? The reason why parents pressed for it is quite simple: there is huge pressure on school places in Reading, parents and students are not able to obtain their choice of feeder school, and the school’s opening will help parents and students throughout Reading.
Michael Gove: I am grateful to my hon. Friend for his support, and I am delighted that Reading is one of the areas benefiting. It is an area of real population growth.
