Ofsted is to set up a taskforce of inspectors to seek out unregistered schools that are operating outside the law in England.
Chief Inspector of Schools Sir Michael Wilshaw says there is a serious and growing threat to the safety of children.
Inspectors have found three unregistered schools operating in Birmingham in recent weeks.
The government says it is taking robust steps against unregistered schools.
Anywhere that offers more than 20 hours a week of teaching is legally obliged to be registered as a school. The three schools inspected by Ofsted had not met this requirement to register.
It is likely the children being sent to some of the centres breaching that threshold are registered as home-educated.

This beggars belief. Given the climate we've been living in for the last decade or so, I'd have thought this would already have been routine practice. God only knows what sort of nonsense (harmful or otherwise) these children are being exposed to.
