City Academies and Beacon Schools
Mr. Damian Green:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many schools have become (a) city academies and (b) beacon schools in each year since the beginning of the scheme, broken down by local education authority. [47493]
Mr. Timms:
No city academies have yet been established. It is expected that the first three will begin operating in September 2002. The beacon school programme was launched in 1998. The number of beacon schools established each year was:
1998: 75
1999: 125
2000: 350
2001: 450.
The network currently consists of 1,000 schools. The breakdown by local education authority is as follows:
