That is why the Department for Education is investing £3.5 billion in our early education offers this year alone.</p><p>The 30 hours childcare entitlement provides an additional 570 hours of funded childcare to working parents of 3 and 4 year olds across the year. The 570 hours are in addition to the 570 hours already provided under the universal 15 hours free childcare entitlement. While many providers will offer 30 hours of funded childcare per week during term time (38 weeks of the year), all free entitlements can be ‘stretched’ by taking fewer hours per week over up to 52 weeks of the year to cover both term-time and the school holidays.</p><p>To ensure that parents can make informed decisions on their choice of childcare, the department’s statutory guidance for local authorities states that providers should publish a statement of how they deliver the free entitlements and any additional charges they impose for optional activities outside of the entitlement.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Mrs Kemi Badenoch question first answered 06/09/2019 16:52:01 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

	uin	285427
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2019 answer text <p>The 30 hours entitlement is intended to support working families with access to high quality, affordable childcare. We are clear that the 30 hours entitlement aims to support working families with the cost of childcare, and to support parents back into work, or to work more hours should they wish to do so. Therefore, we have not made any assessment of the effect of the entitlement on educational performance.</p><p>The latest research in ‘Study of early education and development’ shows that cognitive and socio-emotional developmental benefits were seen to be associated with use of early education and care between ages 2 and age 4, however there is no clear optimal number of hours for a child to spend in early years provision. A link to the study can be found here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/study-of-early-education-and-development-seed" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/study-of-early-education-and-development-seed</a>.</p><p>Access to early education is vital to ensuring all children to have the best start in life, which is why we provide 15 hours of free early education for all 3 and 4-year olds and the most disadvantaged 2-year olds. This is why we plan to spend around £3.5 billion on our early education entitlements this year alone.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Mrs Kemi Badenoch question first answered 06/09/2019 17:42:11 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

	tabling member constituency	Rotherham
	tabling member printed	Sarah Champion
	uin	284684
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2019 answer text <p>The pupil premium is additional funding, worth over £2.4 billion in the current financial year, to help schools improve the progress and attainment of disadvantaged pupils. Allocations to schools are based on the number of pupils on roll at the time of the January school census who are currently registered for benefits-based free school meals (FSM) or who have been registered at any point in the last 6 years (known as ‘Ever 6 FSM’); or who are currently looked after, or have left local authority care in England or Wales through adoption or other specified routes. In 2019-20, 27.3% of all pupils in state-funded education in England attract pupil premium funding to the schools they attend.</p><p>The department knows that a significant proportion of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller of Irish Heritage (GRT) pupils qualify for the pupil premium. In 2017-18, 41.1% of GRT pupils at the end of key stage 2 and 33.7% at the end of key stage 4 were registered for FSM.</p><p>Nonetheless, the department is aware that there are concerns that some GRT pupils from financially disadvantaged family circumstances do not attract pupil premium funding to the schools they attend, because their parents choose not to apply for those benefits that would qualify their children for FSM. We encourage those parents who are eligible for qualifying benefits to take up the offer of support, so that all available resources can be brought to bear in improving the futures of all our young people.</p><p>It should also be noted that the pupil premium is not ring-fenced funding and schools have flexibility over how they use their allocations to address the needs of their pupils. This can include the implementation of whole school approaches that will improve the progress and attainment of all pupils, as well as being particularly beneficial for those pupils who are formally classed as disadvantaged and attract pupil premium funding. We actively encourage schools to adopt evidence-based approaches to their pupil premium spending, and to look at the pupil premium guide recently produced by the Education Endowment Foundation on how to maximise the impact of the funding. This information can be found at the following link: <a href="https://educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/evidence-summaries/pupil-premium-guide/" target="_blank">https://educationendowmentfoundation.org.uk/evidence-summaries/pupil-premium-guide/</a>.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Mrs Kemi Badenoch question first answered 06/09/2019 17:11:55 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2019 answer text <p>If a local area has failed to make sufficient progress following a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) revisit by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission, local area leaders must, as a minimum, submit an updated action plan to the Department for Education, NHS England and the Department for Health and Social Care. The action plan must be co-produced with partners and state how the local area will report on progress and impact, as well as how partners, including families, will be kept fully aware and informed of progress. The action plan will be published and a formal progress review meeting will take place within six months of the revisit report being published. The key partners involved, including the Parent Carer Forum, will be invited to attend this meeting.</p><p>My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, makes a case-by-case assessment regarding which actions to take following a local area SEND inspection. The outcomes of inspection reports – and particularly where local areas have not made sufficient progress following their revisit by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission - are key criteria in the Secretary of State’s consideration of the use of intervention powers.</p><p>The Secretary of State has asked Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission to design a programme of further local area SEND inspections to follow the current 5-year round. Discussions around the design and delivery of a possible second cycle are underway but no final decisions have yet been made.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Mrs Kemi Badenoch grouped question UIN 284429 284440 question first answered 06/09/2019 17:27:36 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2019 answer text <p>The University Technical College (UTC) programme has an important role to play in equipping young people with the skills businesses need and getting them into employment and apprenticeships.</p><p>The most recent sustained destinations data shows that during 2016-17, 21% of pupils who studied in key stage 5 at a UTC in the previous year, progressed into apprenticeships. This is double any other institution type, and well above the national average of 6%. Three quarters of the UTC apprenticeship cohort progress into apprenticeships at Level 3 or above, compared to half of the national cohort. At key stage 4, 9% of pupils studying at UTCs progressed into apprenticeships, compared to 5% nationally.</p><p>We want to see this encouraging performance continue, with UTCs working with the help of their employer sponsors to ensure that pupils are equipped with the skills that they need in their companies. Strong involvement from employers can demonstrate to pupils how attending the UTC can lead to a successful career, and will ensure that UTCs continue to prove successful in getting pupils into apprenticeships.</p> answering member constituency Saffron Walden answering member printed Mrs Kemi Badenoch question first answered 06/09/2019 17:46:08 answering member 4597 label Biography information for Kemi Badenoch
