answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2019 answer text <p>Grammar schools are popular and oversubscribed. 98% of grammar schools are rated good or outstanding by Ofsted; 84% are rated outstanding.</p><p> </p><p>Research shows that disadvantaged children attending grammar schools gain the greatest benefit in terms of their attainment.<sup><sup>[1]</sup></sup></p><p> </p><p>The Selective Schools Expansion Fund will fund selective school expansion only if there is a need for places and the schools have deliverable and ambitious plans in place to admit more disadvantaged pupils. Previous administrations permitted selective schools to expand without placing any requirements upon them to admit more disadvantaged children. Sixteen grammar schools have successfully secured funding to expand via the SSEF and a second bidding round has been launched.</p><p>In order to promote greater social mobility, the Department has also agreed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Grammar School Heads Association under the terms of which the Association has agreed to work with its members to increase the number of disadvantaged pupils on roll.</p><p> </p><p>[1] Atkinson and Gregg ‘Who Benefits from Grammar Schools’ 2004 (<a href="http://www.bristol.ac.uk/media-library/sites/cmpo/migrated/documents/bulletin11.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.bristol.ac.uk/media-library/sites/cmpo/migrated/documents/bulletin11.pdf</a>) ‘Poor pupils who make it into grammar schools do exceptionally well, getting nearly eight grade points more – equivalent to eight GCSEs being raised from a C to a B. Those not attending grammar schools do no worse than their peers in non-selective LEAs. It is clear from this that selection does indeed work in favour of bright pupils from poor backgrounds’. Jon Andrews, Jo Hutchinson and Rebecca Johnes (2016), also found that ‘for children entitled to free school meals and attending grammar schools the estimated effect is larger than for non-FSM children – at around half a grade higher in each of eight GCSEs. However, it is important to note that this is based on just 500 grammar school pupils out of almost 90,000 FSM pupils in any single year group’ ‘<a href="http://dera.ioe.ac.uk/29308/1/Grammar_schools_and_social_mobility_policy_options_v2-1.pdf" target="_blank">Grammar schools and social mobility’, (Education Policy Institute)</a> (<a href="http://dera.ioe.ac.uk/29308/1/Grammar_schools_and_social_mobility_policy_options_v2-1.pdf" target="_blank">http://dera.ioe.ac.uk/29308/1/Grammar_schools_and_social_mobility_policy_options_v2-1.pdf</a>).</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 13/03/2019 17:30:50 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/03/2019 answer text <p>Since May 2010 the Government has been determined to drive up academic standards. The proportion of children in good or outstanding schools has risen from 66% in 2010 to 84% in August 2018, which means 1.9 million more children are in good or outstanding schools. The Department has introduced a new, world class national curriculum and reformed statutory assessment in primary schools to help ensure that children have the knowledge and skills they need to succeed at secondary school. Rigorous new qualifications have been introduced so that employers, universities and young people themselves can feel full confidence in them.</p><p> </p><p>Teaching quality is critical to raising standards and the Department has recently published a strategy to ensure the very best teachers are recruited and retained in the profession. National centres and networks of regional hubs in priority subjects have been established to better support teachers to develop excellent practice. Through the national funding formula and pupil premium targeted funding is being allocated where it is most needed to tackle disadvantage and ensure all children and teachers are fully supported.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 13/03/2019 17:40:55 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
