I received a letter this morning following correspondence with our local MP, Rt Hon Eric Pickles, as reported in “Two pages: how taxpayers money is being awarded to Becket Keys” http://wp.me/p2dr6s-9y. Along with a covering letter from Mr Pickles it also contained a full response from the Secretary of State for Education, Rt Hon Michael Gove MP, to my concerns about the validity of the funding agreement consultation report provided by the proposers of Becket Keys Church of England School.

I am very grateful to Mr Pickles for following up on my query and note again that this is consistent with all correspondence that I have had with him on this matter. For full transparency and to enable visitors of this site to reach their own conclusions I provide copies of both letters below:
