	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2017 answer text <p>We will review the evidential requirements for students applying for Disabled Students’ Allowances (DSAs) with Specific Learning Difficulties, particularly those with dyslexia. This review will seek expert opinion as to whether it is still necessary for dyslexic students to have a post-16 diagnostic assessment when applying for DSAs. The review will not consider the issue of who should pay for such a diagnostic assessment: DSAs funding is currently not available to determine eligibility.</p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 28/11/2017 12:09:04 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

Progress 8 is a measure which focuses on each pupil’s ‘starting point’ (key stage 2 attainment) and the progress they make, therefore more analysis is required to unpick which, if any, factors have a definitive influence on these scores. With data for only two years, it is too soon to draw conclusions. More information on Progress 8 is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/659860/Secondary_accountability_measures_guide.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/659860/Secondary_accountability_measures_guide.pdf</a>.</li><li>State-funded schools include academies, free schools, city technology colleges, further education colleges with provision for 14- to 16-year-olds and state-funded special schools. They exclude independent schools, independent special schools, non-maintained special schools, hospital schools, pupil referral units and alternative provision.</li><li>Pupils are identified as being at the end of key stage 4 if they were on roll at the school and in year 11 at the time of the January school census for that year. Age is calculated as at 31 August for that year, and the majority of pupils at the end of key stage 4 were age 15 at the start of the academic year. Some pupils may complete this key stage in an earlier or later year group.</li><li>Includes entries in graded music qualifications.</li><li>Pupils are recorded as ‘entering music’ if they sat at least one exam in any music qualification which is counted in the secondary school performance tables as a GCSE, equivalent or graded music qualification.</li><li>2015/16 data is final; 2016/17 data is provisional.</li><li>Progress 8 scores are estimates and the confidence intervals provide the <em>likely </em>bounds of the true score. Further information can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/659860/Secondary_accountability_measures_guide.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/659860/Secondary_accountability_measures_guide.pdf</a>. There are also significantly fewer pupils entering music than those who do not, this can lead to undue influence by outliers in the smaller cohort and it is not advised to draw definitive conclusions when the data is mismatched in this way.</li></ol><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 28/11/2017 15:47:43 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
