answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2016 answer text <p>Many of the findings of the report by the Fair Admissions Campaign and British Humanist Association echo those reported by the Chief Schools Adjudicator in her Annual Report for the 2013/14 school year.</p><p>Admission authorities for all state-funded schools, including schools with a religious designation, are required to comply with the mandatory provisions of the School Admissions Code and other admissions law.</p><p>Where an objection is made to the Schools Adjudicator, if the arrangements are found to be unfair or fail to comply with the Code, the admission authority must make changes to ensure their arrangements are compliant. Where an admission authority fails to implement decisions of the adjudicator, the Secretary of State may direct the admission authority to do so.</p><p>We continue to keep the Code under review, and, where we consider any changes are necessary to make the admissions system work more effectively for parents, these will be subject to a full public consultation.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash grouped question UIN HL5901 question first answered 18/02/2016 16:54:48 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2015 answer text <p>Through the primary physical education (PE) and sport premium, the Department for Education is providing over £450 million of ring-fenced funding across three academic years, until academic year 2015/16, to improve PE and sport. The independent research company, NatCen, is evaluating the impact, and assessing schools’ use of the premium. A research brief was published in September 2014, reporting an improvement in PE teaching in over 90% of cases. The interim report is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pe-and-sport-premium-an-investigation-in-primary-schools" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/pe-and-sport-premium-an-investigation-in-primary-schools</a>, and the full report will be published in autumn 2015.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Schools are held accountable for the way in which they spend their funding through Ofsted whole-school inspections. They are required to publish online reports detailing their spending plans and the impact of the primary PE and sport premium. Ofsted has strengthened its coverage of PE and sport, to ensure that all primary school inspections report on the extent to which the school is effectively using the premium to improve the quality and breadth of PE and sport provision.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The premium has been allocated to approximately 18,000 schools in academic year 2014/15. Information on the extent to which individual schools meet the conditions of the premium will be made public through Ofsted’s reporting on schools following section five inspections.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 25/03/2015 16:48:41 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
