Education Secretary Nicky Morgan confirmed on 27 February that she will close a Christian school in Durham

This was despite hearing numerous petitions from parents, pupils and teachers.

John Denning, the Chair of Governors of The Durham Free School (TDFS), received a letter from the Department for Education stating: ‘The Secretary of State has considered your representations. She has also taken into account representations made in letters and emails from parents and pupils of TDFS and others. Having considered all these representations carefully, the Secretary of State remains satisfied that it is appropriate to terminate the Funding Agreement.’
