To ask the Secretary of State for Education with reference to his announcement of 30 October 2013 on the use of GCSE results in school performance tables, whether (a) RAISEonline and (b) other data sets will use a student's best result for their data collation purposes.
The Secretary of State for Education, my right hon. Friend the Member for Surrey Heath (Michael Gove), announced that, with effect from 29 September 2013, only a student's first entry to a GCSE examination will count in their school's performance tables.
This means that attainment indicators produced for the 2014 performance tables, due to be published in January 2015, will count the first entry to GCSEs in the subjects included in the English Baccalaureate. These indicators will also be used in other departmental data sets and RAISEonline.
Pupils aged between 16 and 18 already receive significantly less funding than pre-16 and post-18 learners. Can the Minister assure 16 to18-year-olds that they will not suffer further detriment to their funding?

Gentleman that the Secretary of State and I are working hard to secure a good settlement for all parts of the education system, not just for schools.

[holding answer 6 November 2012]: In November 2010, the Secretary of State for Education announced that he was making funding available to secondary schools to enable the release of a physical education teacher from timetable for one day a week to work with local primary schools to increase opportunities for competitive sport and to encourage them to sign up for the School Games. At the time, the Secretary of State made it clear that the funding was for the two academic years 2011/12 and 2012/13 only. Beyond then, he expects that schools should have embedded this work into their core provision.
The final payment of PE teacher release funding will be made to eligible secondary schools after April next year. This will cover the summer term 2013.
The Secretary of State is considering a range of measures to improve school sport provision from September 2013 and beyond. He will make an announcement in due course.
(2) what plans he has to support the delivery of physical education and school sport in primary schools following the removal of secondary school physical education teacher release funding; and if he will make a statement.
