Since 2010, this government has been committed to raising educational standards in all state schools across the country. In March 2020, 86% of schools were Good or Outstanding compared to just 68% in 2010. When it comes to raising standards, evidence shows that teachers are the most important in-school factor affecting attainment.<\/p>

In June 2021, we announced an investment of over £250 million in teacher development<\/ins> quality<\/del>, which includes investment in our National Professional Qualification and Early Career Framework programmes. School leadership is the second most important in-school influence on pupil learning. Since 2010 the number of academies has grown from 200 to over 9,400, enabling more leaders of good schools to make decisions based on local need and the interests of their pupils, and more previously underperforming schools to receive the support they need to raise standards for all pupils as part of a strong multi-academy trust.<\/p>

We know that COVID-19 and disruption to education has created an additional challenge for schools, and that the impact of the COVID-19 has been felt most significantly by disadvantaged pupils, which is why we have targeted much of our education recovery funding specifically at this group. Through the recovery premium, schools will directly receive over £300 million in the 2021/22 academic year for them to use flexibly to support disadvantaged pupils.<\/p>

This is in addition to the funding we already target towards disadvantaged pupils as part of the National Funding Formula. The pupil premium targets further funding to disadvantaged pupils and plays a crucial role in the work of schools across England, to ensure they have the resources they need to boost the progress and attainment of disadvantaged pupils. Through this, we will be providing £2.5 billion nationally for the 2021/22 financial year. The pupil premium allocation for London is £405 million, and £19.2 million for Enfield for the 2021/22 financial year.<\/p>

In Enfield, we know there are a higher number of pupils who are eligible for free school meals, with an average of 37.6% of secondary pupils eligible, compared to the national average of 27.7%. This year, Enfield is receiving £283.4 million, or £5,640<\/ins>283<\/del> per pupil, in funding. This is an increase of 2.0% per pupil in the local authority\u2019s pupil-led funding compared to the 2020/21 financial year, and is above the national average in per pupil funding of £5,228.<\/p>"} } , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "creator" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4822", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Feryal Clark"} } , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-09-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "dateTabled" : {"_value" : "2021-09-07", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "ddpCreated" : {"_value" : "2021-09-07T19:08:32.547Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "ddpModified" : [{"_value" : "2021-09-07T19:28:32.453Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , {"_value" : "2021-10-25T09:47:18.860Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Schools: Standards"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "humanIndexable" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "identifier" : {"_value" : "44463"} , "legislature" : ["http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259"], "parliamentNumber" : "58", "published" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "publisher" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-09-20T16:35:17.507Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2021-10-25T09:15:16.96Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what recent steps his Department has taken to reduce the attainment gap between state and independent schools in (a) Enfield North constituency, (b) London and (c) England.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "session" : ["2021/22"], "sessionNumber" : {"_value" : "2"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4822", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Feryal Clark"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Enfield North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Feryal Clark"} ], "title" : "House of Commons Tabled Parliamentary Question 2021/22 44463", "type" : "http://data.parliament.uk/schema/parl#WrittenParliamentaryQuestion", "uin" : "44463", "version" : "1", "writtenParliamentaryQuestionType" : "Ordinary"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1359792", "AnswerDate" : {"_value" : "2021-10-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "QuestionStatus" : {"_value" : "Tabled"} , "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1359792/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

Legislation does not specify that teachers must have a degree in a particular subject or discipline. The Teachers\u2019 Standards specify the subject knowledge required for the award of qualified teacher status. All trainee teachers must meet these by the time they complete their training.<\/p>

In November 2019, of 2,948 state-funded secondary schools in England, the most common subjects taught where no teachers in a school held a relevant post A level qualification in the subject were computing (400), Spanish (292) and media studies (209). The attached table provides further detail on all subjects.<\/del><\/p>

In November 2019, of 2,957 state-funded secondary schools in England, the most common subjects taught where no teachers in a school held relevant post A level qualification in the subject were: computing (293), Spanish (271) and media studies (225). The attached table provides further detail on all subjects.<\/ins><\/p>

These figures relate only to schools where the subjects were taught. For example, a school that does not teach engineering and does not have a teacher with a post A level qualification in engineering is excluded from figures. In addition, figures only include schools that supplied both curriculum and teacher qualification data. This differs to the methodology used in the answer to question 25092,<\/a> which included all schools, regardless of curriculum data and subjects taught. The present methodology better reflects the status of schools who do not have teachers with a post A level qualification in specific subjects.<\/p>

The information provided does not consider the subject taught by teachers. For example, a teacher with a qualification in mathematics may instead teach computer science. Information on subjects taught and teacher\u2019s post A level qualifications is published in the \u2018School Workforce in England\u2019 statistical publication at: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/school-workforce-in-england<\/a><\/p>

To reduce the burden during the COVID-19 outbreak, schools and local authorities were not required to provide information on teacher qualifications in 2020. Therefore, the information provided relates to the November 2019 School Workforce Census.<\/p>"} , "attachment" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1359792/answer/attachment/1", "fileName" : {"_value" : "57024_table.xlsx"} } } , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "60"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Education"} , "creator" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4120", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kate Green"} } , "date" : {"_value" : "2021-10-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "dateTabled" : {"_value" : "2021-10-15", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "ddpCreated" : {"_value" : "2021-10-15T14:50:22.657Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "ddpModified" : [{"_value" : "2021-10-15T15:57:38.261Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , {"_value" : "2022-04-07T10:09:12.716Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Teachers: Qualifications"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "humanIndexable" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "identifier" : {"_value" : "57024"} , "legislature" : ["http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259"], "parliamentNumber" : "58", "published" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "publisher" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2021-10-29T10:38:46.453Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2022-04-07T09:37:20.443Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 5 July 2021 to Question 25092 on Teachers: arts, how many schools lack a qualified teacher in each subject.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "session" : ["2021/22"], "sessionNumber" : {"_value" : "2"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4120", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kate Green"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Stretford and Urmston"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kate Green"} ], "title" : "House of Commons Tabled Parliamentary Question 2021/22 57024", "type" : "http://data.parliament.uk/schema/parl#WrittenParliamentaryQuestion", "uin" : "57024", "version" : "1", "writtenParliamentaryQuestionType" : "NamedDay"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1385829", "AnswerDate" : {"_value" : "2021-12-09", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Education"} ], "QuestionStatus" : {"_value" : "Tabled"} , "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1385829/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

During the autumn term, the department provided CO\u2082 monitors to all state-funded education providers. This includes early years, schools, and further education providers, backed by £25 million in government funding. Further information on this can be found here https://www.gov.uk/government/news/all-schools-to-receive-carbon-dioxide-monitors<\/a>.<\/del><\/p>

The department has now delivered on our public commitment with over 353,000 monitors delivered. The programme provided schools and other settings with sufficient monitors to take representative readings from across their estate. Feedback suggests that schools are finding the monitors helpful to manage ventilation and, in most education providers, existing ventilation measures are sufficient.<\/del><\/p>

CO\u2082 monitors are an additional measure which the department have rolled out to education providers to be used as a guide for where ventilation can be improved. This is not intended to create an additional burden on staff but is an extra tool to support education providers to improve ventilation. It is up to school leaders to decide how to best use them in their specific setting.<\/del><\/p>

On 2 January 2022, the department announced that 7000 air cleaning units are now being made available for mainstream state-funded providers, in addition to the 1000 units made available for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) and alternative provision (AP) settings that we announced in November. Settings can apply for funded units via an online form. Applications are open until 9am on 17 January.<\/del><\/p>

Before applying for a funded air cleaning unit, the following criteria must be met by mainstream education providers, as set out in the \u2018How to apply for a Department for Education-funded air cleaning unit' guidance, which is available on the ventilation document sharing platform:<\/del><\/p>
