To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she expects the outcome of Ofsted's thematic review of obesity, healthy eating and physical activity in schools to be published.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she expects the outcome of Ofsted's thematic review of obesity, healthy eating and physical activity in schools to be published.
The childhood obesity plan, published in August 2016, included a commitment to undertake a thematic review of obesity, healthy eating and physical activity in 2017. We are working with Ofsted and the Department of Health to ensure we meet this commitment.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she plans to incorporate new guidance on sugar and nutrition into school food standards.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when she plans to incorporate new guidance on sugar and nutrition into school food standards.
We agreed to update the School Food Standards in light of refreshed government dietary recommendations as part of the 'Childhood Obesity: a plan for action' published in August 2016. Departmental officials have begun talks with Public Health England colleagues about how best to do this.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of pupils’ achievement in non-selective schools operating in areas where there are existing grammar schools.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of pupils’ achievement in non-selective schools operating in areas where there are existing grammar schools.
The number of entries and achievements of pupils at the end of key stage 4 by school admission basis in England for academic year 2015/16 are publicly available.
The latest statistics, for 2015-2016, are available in Table 2b in the attached tables that accompanied the statistical first release ‘GCSE and equivalent results: 2015 to 2016 (provisional)’, which was published in October 2016.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any plans to appoint a commission of inquiry to investigate schools in Birmingham where pupils are reported to be subject to Islamist fundamentalist teaching.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any plans to appoint a commission of inquiry to investigate schools in Birmingham where pupils are reported to be subject to Islamist fundamentalist teaching.
The Government is committed to ensuring that all children learn in a safe environment, protected from extremist or hateful views wherever they are receiving education, and the Department for Education is taking firm action where concerns arise.
We have more power than ever before to intervene in schools causing concern and we take swift, decisive action to make sure every child has access to the best possible education.
Ofsted inspects schools on the requirement to actively promote the fundamental British values of democracy, the rule of law, individual liberty and respect and tolerance of those with different faiths and beliefs, as well as on the breadth of the curriculum, which should prepare pupils for life in modern Britain.
We have provided additional resources to Ofsted to allow them to increase their investigative work into unregistered independent schools. Wherever such schools are found to be teaching hate or intolerance, we take action to close them and prosecute those operating them.
We have also taken steps to increase oversight of out-of-school settings, such as clubs and weekend schools. Prevent duty statutory guidance sets out the expectations on local authorities to take steps to understand the range of out-of-school settings in their areas and to ensure that children attending such settings are safeguarded, including from the risk of being drawn into extremism and terrorism. We set out plans to introduce a new system of regulation for out-of-school settings in our call for evidence which closed earlier this year. The proposed system would allow Ofsted to close such settings where there was evidence that they were engaging in extremist teaching or failing to adequately safeguard the children in their care. We received a large number of responses and will set out next steps in due course.
Birmingham City Council has made improvements to the way it runs its children’s services, but this progress has not yet gone far enough, fast enough. That is why we are working with the Council on the development of a voluntary Trust to make sure children and families in this area receive the best possible care and support. The City Council and the Department have jointly appointed Andrew Christie as Chair of this Trust.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many applicants there were to School Direct in 2016; how many were successful; how many schools participated; and what the total cost was of the scheme to her Department.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many applicants there were to School Direct in 2016; how many were successful; how many schools participated; and what the total cost was of the scheme to her Department.
The Department does not publish data on the number of applicants to Initial Teacher Training. UCAS, who own this data, does release figures for applications to School Direct but not applicants, and an applicant can have up to three applications. The data is available at:
https://www.ucas.com/corporate/data-and-analysis/ucas-teacher-training-releases.
There were a total of 10,629 trainees on a School Direct course in 2016/17, and further details of how this breaks down can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-trainee-number-census-2016-to-2017
These trainees were recruited through 818 School Direct partnerships, each of which is formed of a minimum of five schools. We are unable to say how many schools are involved because some trainees do multiple placements during the year.
The total cost of the scheme to the department for 2016 will not be available until after the end of the academic year when data submissions will be finalised and subsequently validated.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 8 December 2016 to Question 55966, what the secondary school capacity is in the local area that will be affected by the decision on whether to close Baverstock Academy.
Local authorities are responsible for ensuring sufficient school places for pupils, including accurately forecasting demand. The department collects forecasts of future demand for pupil places and school capacity figures from each local authority, covering the next five years, through the annual school capacity survey (SCAP). The latest published SCAP data, relating to the position as reported at May 2015, can be found at:
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-capacity-academic-year-2014-to-2015. This data covers the periods 2015 to 2019 for primary and 2015 to 2021 for secondary.
