Under these regulations the proprietor of an academy must ensure that an annual written report of each registered pupil’s progress and attainment in the main subject areas taught is provided to the parents of that registered pupil, except that no report need be sent where the parent has agreed otherwise. Academy trusts enter into Funding Agreement with my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, which contains a clause concerning information sharing requirements relating to assessments. It provides that the academy trust must report on assessments as the Secretary of State requires, or provide any information on assessments, on the same basis that maintained schools are required to provide the information.</p><p>The department has no plans to change these arrangements.</p> answering member constituency East Hampshire answering member printed Damian Hinds question first answered 20/05/2024 15:03:29 answering member 3969 label Biography information for Damian Hinds
