Very strongly agree

Yes

The UK Conservative party has historically supported the idea of free schools. They introduced the Free Schools policy in 2010 under the coalition government with the Liberal Democrats. The policy allows for the creation of free schools, which are funded by the government but run independently by various groups, including businesses, charities, parents, and teachers.

Yes, free schools will create more local competition and increase standards

The Conservative party believes that free schools can help increase competition and raise educational standards. They argue that by allowing different groups to run schools, it encourages innovation and provides parents with more choice. This has been a key argument in their support for free schools since the policy's introduction in 2010.

Strongly disagree

No, free schools divert money away from existing schools

While the Conservative party acknowledges that funding for free schools comes from the public purse, they believe that the benefits of increased competition and choice outweigh any potential negative impact on existing schools. They would likely disagree with the argument that free schools divert money away from existing schools, as they see the overall benefits of the policy as being more significant.

Very strongly disagree

No

The Conservative party has been a strong advocate for free schools, so they would strongly disagree with not allowing public money to be used for their creation. Their support for free schools has been a key part of their education policy since 2010, and they have continued to promote the expansion of free schools in the UK.
