Schools: Playing Fields (22 November 2018)

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what his Department's definition is of wholly or mainly used when deciding whether a detached playing field is part of a school's premises or is a facility used by a school.

Asked by:
Darren Jones (Labour)

The Department’s understanding of the term ‘used wholly or mainly’, in the context of determining if land forms part of a school’s premises, is whether the school has exclusive or majority use or enjoyment of the land for greater than 50% of the time.
