We have taken account of a wide range of concerns in ensuring that the final content for ancient language GCSEs provides a suitable preparation for further study. The published content for A and AS levels has been designed to allow the development of new stand-alone AS qualifications, including for ancient languages, that can be co-taught with the A level. We are supporting secondary schools by funding £500,000 of training for non-specialist teachers of Latin in state schools, which will to help them get to grips with the GCSE standard.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 02/03/2015 17:01:31 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2015 answer text <p>The Department regularly assesses demand from the sector, how well different Initial Teacher Training (ITT) routes attract trainees and trainee quality by route. Sir Andrew Carter also considered this issue in his independent Review of ITT. <br> <br> It is too early to carry out a final comparison of the new routes into teaching. We would need data on their trainees’ impact in the classroom, which is not yet available for our new routes. The first full cohort of School Direct trainees have, for example, only been teaching for one term. <br> <br> The Department has, however, recently initiated a project to link together the School Workforce Census and 2013/14 ITT performance profiles in order to piece together teachers’ professional journeys from ITT into employment and their subsequent progression. In time, with the addition of further data, this will enable us to look at the influence of different ITT routes on teacher employment, mobility, progression and retention.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 02/03/2015 16:45:54 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws

The safety of children and young people is of the utmost importance. All school employers must adhere to the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. They must conduct a risk assessment and put measures in place to minimise any known risk. Where schools use a coach tour company to provide transport for their trip, we expect them to apply sensible and proportionate health and safety measures to assess the company’s suitability.</p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 27/02/2015 11:29:59 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws
