Commenting on today’s school appeals figures, David Laws said:
“In the last five years, hundreds of thousands of parents have been left disappointed because their child couldn’t get into the school of their choice.
“Parents would not be so worried about getting their kids into specific schools if Labour had raised standards across the board and addressed the dramatic differences in results between some schools and areas.
“These figures are a symptom of Labour’s failure and its legacy of too many poorly performing schools which parents are desperate to avoid.
“We need to raise the quality of all schools and target additional resources at those with the greatest challenges, with extra funding to reduce class sizes and tackle poor literacy and numeracy.”
