Mrs. May: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list those Beacon schools which have received a second Ofsted inspection and those which have received Beacon status following a second inspection. [156475] Ms Estelle Morris: [holding answer 2 April 2001]: Inspection evidence is an important factor in the award of Beacon status and in the process of validating a school's continuing operation as a Beacon, but it is not the sole determining criterion. Consistently high performance in relation to school circumstances and the capacity, experience and willingness to build partnerships with other schools are also key factors that are taken into account. We have no record of how many inspections a school may have received prior to being awarded Beacon status. However, 111 Beacon schools have received an Ofsted inspection since becoming a Beacon: Aboyne Lodge Junior Mixed and Infant School Ashton on Mersey School Birkdale High School Bishop Luffa Church of England School Black Horse Hill Junior School Blackfriars School Broad Oak Primary School Broughton Infant School Carwarden House Community School Christ Church Church of England Primary School Clifton Hill School Colleges Nursery School Coulsdon Nursery School Cunningham Hill Infant School Dixons City Technology College Downe Manor Primary School Dunmore Junior School Eglingham Church of England First School Enfield County School Etchingham Church of England Primary School Exhall Grange School Fair Oak Junior School Garden Suburb Infant School Grange Lane Infant School Habergham High School Haggerston School Hartwell Church of England Primary School High Greave Junior School High Storrs School Highburton Church of England Voluntary Controlled First School Hillborough Junior School Hilton Lane Primary School Hummersknott Community School King David High School Kirk Hallam Community Technology College Knowle Church of England Primary School La Sainte Union Catholic Secondary School Linden Bridge School Loose Infant School Lytham Hall Park Primary School Margaret McMillan Nursery School Mary Elliot School Meadowhead School Merrivale Nursery School Montrose School Newchurch-in-Pendle St. Mary's Church of England School North Nibley Church of England Primary School Northview Primary School Notre Dame Catholic Primary School Notre Dame Roman Catholic Girls' School Orleton Church of England Primary School Our Lady and St. Philomena's RC Primary School Our Lady's Convent Roman Catholic High School Pennywell Nursery School Pensby High School for Girls Penwortham Girls' High School Pownall Green Primary School Priory School Ranelagh Church of England School Redhill Primary School Reynalds Cross School Riverhead Infant School RNIB New College Robin Hood Junior and Infant School Rodborough School Sacred Heart High School Saint Gregory's Catholic Comprehensive School Scarcroft Primary School Shaldon Primary School Sharnbrook Upper School and Community College Silverdale School Sir John Cass's Foundation Primary School St. Angela's Ursuline Convent School St. Anne's Nursery School St. Antony's RC Primary School St. Brigid's Catholic Primary School St. Catherine's RC Primary School St. Edmund Arrowsmith Catholic High School St. Elizabeth's Catholic Primary School St. Gregory's RC Voluntary Aided Primary School St. Helen's Primary School St. Joan of Arc Catholic Primary School St. Joseph and St. Theresa Catholic Primary School St. Joseph's Catholic Primary School, Wetherby St. Joseph's RC Voluntary Aided Comprehensive St. Julie's Catholic High School St. Mary's RC Junior School St. Nicholas Catholic Primary School St. Philip's Church of England Primary School, Atherton St. Thomas' Church of England Primary School Stockcross Church of England School Sutton in Craven Church of England Voluntary Controlled Swanshurst School The Ecclesbourne School The Ellen Wilkinson School for Girls The Grey Coat Hospital The Grove Special School Thomas Telford School Trinity Catholic High School Tubbenden Infant School Ubley Church of England Primary School Urchfont Church of England Primary School Walkden High School West Oaks School Westborough High School Wimbledon Chase Middle School Windlesham Village Infant School Winklebury Infant School Woodhouse Primary School Yealand Church of England Primary School Yerbury Primary School.

Mrs. May: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list, for each education action zone (a) the lead LEA, (b) the schools in the zones, (c) the parliamentary constituencies covered by each zone, (d) the date of the zone's inauguration, (e) the total public funding given to each zone to date, (f) the public funding budgeted to be given to the zone in future, (g) the total private funding obtained by each zone and (h) the date of (i) inspection and (ii) audit of each zone's efficiency and effectiveness. [153280] Ms Estelle Morris: [holding answer 12 March 2001]: The information requested for each of the 73 large Education Action Zones (EAZs), is contained in tables, copies of which have been placed in the Library, with the exception of (h) (ii) which is an ongoing process. EAZs do not have `lead LEAs'. The table lists the Partner LEAs. This funding has led to improvements in the standards of education. In the 25 first round zones which have been running the longest, the proportion of 7-year-olds reaching level 2 in reading, writing and maths has increased by 7, 6 and 8 percentage points respectively since 1998, compared with national increases of 4, 4 and 6 percentage points over the same period. The proportion of 11-year-olds achieving level 4 in English, maths and science has increased by 12, 16 and 20 percentage points respectively, compared with 10, 14 and 16 percentage points nationally. Pledged private sector sponsorship for all Education Action Zones now runs at over £37 million; some £36 million of this is for large zones.

Dr. Starkey: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment (1) how many Ofsted school inspection reports, since the publication of the report of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry, have included (a) consideration of the school's effectiveness in preventing and addressing racism, (b) highlighted racial equality issues among the key action points and (c) identified improvements in the school's practice in promoting racial equality; [131961] (2) how many schools placed under special measures since the publication of the report of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry have had failure to address issues of racial equality identified among their weaknesses; [131962] (3) how many schools which have been identified by Ofsted as having serious weaknesses have, since the publication of the report of the Stephen Lawrence Inquiry, had failure to address racial equality as one of the identified weaknesses; [131963] (4) if he will request Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools to respond in writing to the recommendations of the report of the Commission for Racial Equality, "Inspecting Schools for Race Equality: Ofsted's Strengths and Weaknesses". [131964] Ms Estelle Morris: These are matters for HM Chief Inspector of Schools, Chris Woodhead. I have asked him to write to my hon. Friend and to place a copy of his letter in the Library. Post-inspection action plans are prepared by schools' governing bodies to address the key issues for action identified by inspectors, which could include the need better to address issues of racial equality. In the case of schools requiring special measures or with serious weaknesses, HM Inspectors judge whether action plans adequately address the key issues and monitor improvement on subsequent visits. My Department checks on the progress made by each school and in cases where progress is limited works with the local education authority to ensure that urgent action is taken to improve the quality of education provided for pupils.
