Therefore, this information could only be obtained at disproportionate cost. However, in 2017/18 cases considered on paper composed 2.5% of all hearings in the tribunal.</p> answering member constituency South East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Lucy Frazer question first answered 04/06/2018 11:33:12 answering member 4517 label Biography information for Lucy Frazer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/06/2018 answer text <p>The answer given in response to the Topical Question of 14 May referred to the changes being introduced to the Progress 8 methodology in 2018 to limit the impact that a small number of pupils with extremely negative progress scores can have on a school’s overall score. The Department set out further information on this change in the secondary accountability guidance, published in January 2018. The Department continues to listen to feedback from school leaders and other stakeholders on Progress 8 and to monitor patterns in entries and results, as part of ongoing work to keep all secondary school performance measures under review. My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education announced on 4 May further clarification to the accountability system so that schools can be clear that no mandatory intervention will follow from a progress score. The secondary accountability guidance is available to view here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/progress-8-school-performance-measure" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/progress-8-school-performance-measure</a>.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 04/06/2018 13:47:41 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

Local authorities will continue to set local formulae to determine individual schools’ budgets in 2018-19 and 2019-20. It remains the Department’s intention that every school’s budget should be set on the basis of a single, national formula, but the Department believes a period of transition will provide greater stability for schools.</p><p> </p><p>The Department will publish notional funding formula allocations for 2019-20 later this year after updating calculations using the latest autumn census data.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 04/06/2018 09:31:38 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
