On the question of patronage, the witnesses will know that there is a target but it is hard to see how that target can be met through shifting schools that are already in the system. We are therefore pretty much reliant on new schools to develop diverse patronage. To what extent is that taken into account? Is it considered whether there is a lack of diversity of patronage among schools in a particular area?
