	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/02/2019 answer text <p>The Department does not offer guidance to teachers or schools on how they present the issue of migration. However, sections 406 and 407 of the Education Act 1996 require maintained schools to prevent political indoctrination and secure the balanced treatment of political issues. This duty is reflected in the funding agreements for academies and free schools. In particular, Section 407 of the Education Act 1996 places a duty on schools to ensure that where political issues are brought to the attention of pupils, they are offered a balanced presentation of opposing views.</p><p> </p><p>There have been recent valuable additions to the resources available to support teaching of this issue in History. For example, the Windrush Foundation has produced key stage 2 lesson plans for primary schools, and the Runnymede Trust’s ‘Our Migration Story’ website provides extensive resources, including lesson plans.</p><p> </p><p>The Geographical Association and the Royal Geographical Society both provide resources on the issue to support teaching of the Geography curriculum.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 18/02/2019 13:38:44 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

Friend, the Secretary of State for Education meets with head teachers of schools to discuss issues including funding regularly. Our records show that on average, from February 2018 to date, my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education has met nine head teachers each month. This figure includes head teachers that he has met in formal meetings, visits and reference groups, but does not include the many other occasions where my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education has met head teachers in this time, including meetings, roundtable discussions, conferences, and events, nor does it reflect the other teachers and school staff he will have met during visits and meetings, so the actual figure is likely to be much higher.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 19/03/2019 14:45:58 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	uin	240098
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>The law is clear that a pupil’s name can only be deleted from the admission register on the grounds prescribed in regulation 8 of the Education (Pupil Registration) (England) Regulations 2006, as amended. Where a school issues an exclusion, there is a formal process that must be followed. ‘Unofficial’ or ‘informal’ exclusions, such as sending pupils home to ‘cool off’, are unlawful regardless of whether they are done with the agreement of parents or carers and regardless of the age of the pupil. Any exclusion of a pupil, even for short periods of time, must be formally recorded.</p><p> </p><p>Schools can only exclude pupils, either permanently or for a fixed period, for disciplinary reasons, and the Department supports schools in using exclusion where this is warranted. No teacher goes into education to exclude pupils. Permanent exclusion should only be used as a last resort, in response to a serious breach or persistent breaches of the school's behaviour policy and where allowing the pupil to remain in school would seriously harm the education or welfare of the pupil or others in the school.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 08/04/2019 15:12:47 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/04/2019 answer text <p>All Initial Teacher Training (ITT) courses must enable their trainees to demonstrate that they meet the Teachers' Standards (2011). It is for ITT providers to use their professional judgement to determine the content and structure of their courses.</p><p>To support ITT providers to do this, the Department published the Framework of Core Content for ITT in 2016 and it is still in place. In the Recruitment and Retention Strategy, published in January 2019, the Department committed to reviewing ITT core content guidance using the Early Career Framework as our starting point. This will ensure that ITT complements and builds towards the Early Career Framework and together they will provide the foundations of a successful and rewarding career.</p><p>Ofsted is responsible for testing the quality of ITT and it assesses how providers use the Framework as part of ITT inspections. At their most recent inspection, 99% of all ITT providers were rated good or outstanding.[1] Officials are working closely with Ofsted on the development of its new ITT inspection guidance, to ensure that providers’ use of the framework remains crucial to judgements about ITT quality.</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-education-inspections-and-outcomes-as-at-30-june-2018" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-education-inspections-and-outcomes-as-at-30-june-2018</a>.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 08/04/2019 15:38:39 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
