Answer
The terms and conditions under which free schools and University Technical Colleges (UTCs) are funded are set out in a funding agreement between the Secretary of State and the school’s trust. A school’s funding agreement gives the Secretary of State a range of powers to intervene, including moving to close a school, if failure is identified. All free school and UTC funding agreements are available on the Department for Education's performance table website at http://www.education.gov.uk/schools/performance/
