	tabling member constituency	Huddersfield

	uin	4478
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/07/2017 answer text <p>We would expect the new technical education qualifications that form part of T levels to replace some of the existing vocational qualifications that purport to serve the same purpose. Our reforms will replace the sometimes confusing patchwork of thousands of qualifications of variable quality with fifteen routes to skilled employment. The new routes will include far fewer, but consistently better, qualifications. These will be shaped by industry professionals and will provide stretching technical content, delivered to industry standards.</p><p> </p><p>We plan to fund the new technical qualifications once they have been approved, and over time we expect to cease funding similar qualifications. We will not withdraw funding for students who are partway through their courses. We are currently working through the detail of our proposals and expect to publish further information in due course.</p> answering member constituency Guildford answering member printed Anne Milton question first answered 21/07/2017 16:05:28 answering member 1523 label Biography information for Anne Milton

	tabling member constituency	Huddersfield
	tabling member printed	Mr Barry Sheerman
	uin	56333
	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/12/2016 answer text <p>We want all pupils to be healthy and active. That is why we have provided over £600M of ring-fenced funding since 2013 through the Primary PE and Sport Premium and have doubled funding to £320M a year from autumn 2017.</p><p> </p><p>We know this funding is having an effect. Independent research found that the most common use for the PE and sport premium was to up-skill and train existing staff, and that since the introduction of the PE and sport premium there has been an increase in the number of schools with a specialist PE teacher from 30 per cent before the premium to 46 per cent in 2014/15. The research also found that 87% of schools reported that the quality of PE teaching had increased, and 84% that there had been an increase in pupil engagement in PE during curricular time, and in the levels of participation in extra-curricular activities. Schools also reported almost universally that the PE and sport premium had had a positive impact on physical fitness, healthy lifestyles, and the behaviour of pupils.</p><p>We continue to work with the sector to determine how best to further measure the effect of the doubled premium, and details will be announced in due course. At a local level, schools will continue to report online how they are spending their funding, which includes reporting on the impact that the funding is having on pupils’ PE and sport participation.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 14/12/2016 16:57:21 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2014 answer text <p>We have made no such estimate. Local authorities have responsibility for securing sufficient school places to meet the needs of their local communities and have the statutory duties and powers to support that. They must also ensure that the balance of different types of provision meets local demand and that they make suitable transport arrangements for eligible pupils.</p><p>The Government does recognise the need to ensure that new provision meets the needs of the whole community. New academies and free schools with a religious designation may only prioritise up to 50% of pupils on the basis of faith-related admissions criteria.</p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 24/06/2014 09:57:12 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws

For permanent exclusions, parents can also request a review of the decision by an independent review panel, who can direct or recommend that the governing board reconsider their decision.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 21/07/2017 07:10:32 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
