answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/02/2016 answer text <p>Qualified teachers not currently in the workforce, including those who are unemployed, are an important supply of teachers for schools. The number of those returning to teaching has been increasing in recent years, from 11,710 in 2011 to 14,100 in 2014 (School Workforce Census, 2014[1]). The Government is keen to support schools to attract teachers back to the profession and to provide support to refresh their skills where required.</p><p>The National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) is undertaking a new pilot, the Return to Teaching Programme. 61 school partnerships have been successful in applying for funding to support potential returners. Qualified teachers outside the profession who plan to teach a secondary English Baccalaureate (EBacc) subject can access free tailored support provided by these schools. Support could include subject knowledge training, training to update knowledge of classroom practice and assessment frameworks as well as access to classroom experience and mentor support. In addition, teachers returning to mathematics or physics also have access to one-to-one advisors.</p><p>[1] <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/440582/Additional_Tables_SFR21_2015.xlsx" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/440582/Additional_Tables_SFR21_2015.xlsx</a></p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 22/02/2016 17:13:41 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the response by Lord Nash of 23 November to the 10th Report of the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee on the Education and Adoption Bill, whether it is possible to amend the definition of a coasting school in primary legislation using the powers in clause 15 of that bill.
tabling member printed	Lord Watson of Invergowrie
uin	HL4625
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/01/2016 answer text <p>It is not possible to amend the definition of a coasting school in primary legislation using the powers in clause 15 of the Education and Adoption Bill. Clause 15 can only be used to make transitional or savings provisions about the coming into force of the Bill, or to make provision consequential to any provision of the Bill. Neither of these grounds would apply to an amendment to the definition of a coasting school. It would not have to be done as a consequence of the Bill, as the Bill already gives a means and procedure for defining coasting.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 04/01/2016 15:51:09 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash

tabling member printed	Lord Watson of Invergowrie
uin	HL4626
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/01/2016 answer text <p>An academy will be subject to the same coasting definition as a maintained school. Our proposed definition would identify a school as coasting where data shows that it is failing to fulfil its pupils’ potential over a three year period. As long as the academy has three years of validated results, which may date from before the school converted to an academy, it may be notified it is coasting before the fourth year of its operation as an academy.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 07/01/2016 16:34:54 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
