answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/07/2019 answer text <p>The Church of England Vision for Education identifies four core themes (wisdom, knowledge and skills; hope and aspiration; community and living well together; dignity and respect) which underpin all of our work in education. School leadership networks will be focusing on serious youth violence as part of these core themes. An education which promotes hope, aspiration and dignity is a vital part of addressing serious youth violence.</p><p>One aspect of this debate relates to the impact of school exclusions on vulnerable young people. Church of England schools exclude fewer children than non-church schools and the Church’s commitment to the vulnerable and disadvantaged means that we will continue to explore ways of further reducing the negative impact of exclusion.</p> answering member constituency Meriden answering member printed Dame Caroline Spelman question first answered 25/07/2019 16:25:37 answering member 312 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Spelman previous answer version 130244 answering member constituency Meriden answering member printed Dame Caroline Spelman answering member 312 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Spelman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/07/2019 answer text <p>Governor autonomy over curriculum and budget was a key recommendation of Dame Sally Coates’ review of prison education in 2016, alongside other recommendations to ensure high standards across the estate. The Government has taken these recommendations on board and taken steps to further improve the consistency of education and training across the prison estate, whilst at the same time providing more autonomy for governors.</p><p> </p><p>On 1 April 2019, we introduced a new Prison Education and Library Services Policy Framework in England that outlines the elements of service delivery that governors are duty bound to follow to ensure consistency. This includes, but is not limited to; mandatory assessments in maths and English for all prisoners, screening for Learning Difficulties and Disabilities (LDD) and ensuring that staff delivering learning receive effective Continuing Professional Development.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, we have introduced a new core common curriculum of English, maths, ICT and English for speakers of other languages. We have also appointed four Common Awarding Organisations (City &amp; Guilds; OCR; WAMITAB and Gateway Qualifications) in seven subjects. This means that a prisoner who starts a qualification in one prison will be able to complete it at another, rather than starting again as they move across the prison estate. This will also enable prisoners to follow their personal learning plan throughout the prison estate.</p><p> </p><p>Standards and consistency will ultimately be ensured through robust, regular inspections by Ofsted, which holds prisons to the same standards as mainstream further education provision and an accountability measure, which is under development.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 31/07/2019 15:45:04 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/07/2019 answer text <p>Assessments are an essential part of ensuring that children and young people are taught the knowledge and skills they need. Statutory assessments at Key Stages 1 and 2 help teachers to understand how their pupils are performing against national expectations and enable them to identify where extra support may be needed. Both statutory assessments and qualifications enable the Department to hold schools and colleges to account and in doing so help to ensure that they offer a high-quality education to all their pupils.</p><p> </p><p>The Department is aware that tests and exams can be a time of heightened emotions for pupils and teachers, but they are not meant to cause stress and anxiety. Schools should encourage all pupils to work hard and achieve well, but this should not be at the expense of their wellbeing. They should also provide appropriate support for the betterment of pupils’ wellbeing and resilience.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 24/07/2019 11:43:29 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
