ABSTRACT
Every child in England has to attend school, or be otherwise adequately educated. Therefore, adequate education must be available free of charge for every child, whether he makes use of it or not. His parents may choose to send him to a private school, or as a fee payer to a secondary school, but every parent can demand that his child be received into any elementary school in his district to which he applies if there is accommodation available there. If there is not, he may have to send his child to another school within reasonable distance, but he can refuse to send him to a denominational school. It is the statutory duty of all L.E.A.’s to see that accommodation is available.
