answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2015 answer text <p>We welcome Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector’s report which highlights continuing improvement in schools and further education. The report shows that there are now over a million more children being taught in good and outstanding schools than in 2010. The Chief Inspector is right to highlight areas which require further improvement and these matters will form part of the regular discussion between ministers and Ofsted. As part of its role, the Commons Education Select Committee will be taking evidence from the Chief Inspector about the Annual Report at its hearing on 28 January 2015 and we will consider the evidence from that session as part of our ongoing discussions with the Chief Inspector. As a government we are committed to ensuring high standards in schools across the country.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 13/01/2015 14:27:12 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to monitor Sustainable Mode of Travel to School strategies as a statutory duty for local authorities; and when they plan to review those strategies in the near future.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/01/2015 answer text <p>Local authorities (LAs) are under a duty to promote the use of sustainable modes of travel to school and are required to develop a strategy for sustainable local travel. Information about school travel and transport options available must be published on the LA’s website. LAs should carry out an audit of the sustainable transport infrastructure that supports travel to school and it is also good practice to audit individual school routes. The specifics of the audit and how often it should be reviewed are for a local authority to decide.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>On 18 July 2014, the Department for Education issued revised home to school travel guidance which advises LAs of these duties.
