Huntingdon MP Jonathan Djanogly has backed plans for a new secondary school in St Neots.
Mr Djanogly said it was important for parents to have choice.
“I welcome the innovation and freedom provided to schools over the last decade as a result of the academies and free schools programmes.
“It is important that parents have the choice of the best schools. I have supported the campaign for a Free School in St Neots since its inception and I am pleased to hear that the Department for Education has re-confirmed their commitment to a Free School for St Neots, which was so well received in the local community.”

Children have lacked discipline and order during lockdown, warns Gavin Williamson
Education Secretary has launched a behaviour crackdown and discipline regime
The absence of structure for youngsters during several months of school closures will “inevitably” have an impact on their behaviour, according to Gavin Williamson.
Throwing his weight behind a mobile phone ban at schools, he said that some children’s “out of control behaviour” threatens to “destroy” the learning environment for their peers.
His remarks come as the Department for Education (DfE) announces the details of its £10 million “behaviour hub” programme which it says will be up and running in time for the summer term.
