I have not had any contact with boards of management of fee-charging schools concerning admission to the free education scheme.
It is open to any fee-charging school to apply to join the free education scheme. As such a decision is very much a matter for the schools concerned, I do not have any plans to contact boards of management in relation to this matter.
