Free school with £220k funding has 20 pupils

From the BBC: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-25875224

'A free school in Wolverhampton has been branded a "waste of money" after it emerged it has just 20 pupils.

'Anand Primary School, which opened in September, received £220,000 in government funding for its first year.

'Head teacher Kulbinder Pouni said pupil numbers were low because admissions opened before a school site was found.'
