Proposals to create more good school places through lifting the faith cap were unveiled today on 1 May as new data shows over half of schools are now academies. A consultation on lifting the 50% cap, which applies to new faith free schools, will be launched alongside proposals on opening special faith-based academies. The DfE note that the proposals mean high performing faith school providers will be able to create more good school places and create strong multi-academy trusts around the country where there is demand.
