From 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2014 the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) collected the information outlined below at the point of referral only and categorised as follows: state schools; academies and free schools; independent schools; Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS); police and public. At the point a case concluded at a panel hearing, cases were categorised by types of behaviour as follows: finance/dishonesty; drink/drugs related; exam misconduct; inappropriate relationships; inappropriate web access; violence; intolerance and other.<\/p>

<\/p>

From 1 April 2014 NCTL has continued to collect the source of referral. In addition it now collects information relating to types of behaviour at both the point of referral and the conclusion of the case. NCTL has revised the categorisation in light of experience over its first two years of operation. Categories are now: breach of boundaries and/or trust, bullying, dishonesty, drink/drugs related, exam misconduct, false representation, indecent images of children, intolerance and undermining British values, sexual misconduct, violence, other financial misconduct, other serious criminal behaviour and other.<\/p>

Full details of cases that progressed to a hearing where the panel found unacceptable professional conduct, conduct that may bring the profession into disrepute and/or conviction of a relevant offence, are published online at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications?keywords=&publication_filter_option=decisions&topics%5B%5D=schools&departments%5B%5D=national-college-for-teaching-and-leadership&official_document_status=all&world_locations%5B%5D=all<\/a><\/p>

The Government announced on 24 July 2014 that the only English and mathematics qualifications that will count in the 2017 secondary school performance tables will be reformed GCSEs in those subjects or qualifications reformed to meet the same standards and expectations. The decision was taken following advice from Ofqual, the independent regulator, about the specific challenges of the first awards of reformed GCSEs in summer 2017. That advice is published online at:<\/p>

www.ofqual.gov.uk/news/advice-ministers-performance-tables-2017<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

The present arrangements for recognising current level 1/level 2 certificates, such as IGCSEs, will end with the introduction of reformed GCSEs in all subjects.<\/p>

<\/p>

Following the first exams in the new GCSEs, exam boards will be able to propose alternative academic qualifications for inclusion in performance tables. Any such qualifications will need to be accredited by Ofqual and be at least as demanding as and share key characteristics with the new GCSEs. New alternative academic qualifications could be recognised in performance tables from 2018.<\/p>

We use the teacher supply model (TSM) to estimate the optimum number of teacher trainees required to start in any academic year. The TSM models trainees across the primary phase; it does not distinguish between early years, primary specialists and other individual primary courses. A technical description of the TSM is published online at:<\/p>

www.gov.uk/government/publications/teacher-supply-model-a-technical-description<\/a><\/p>

The number of places allocated is not a target and should not be regarded as one. This year, as we do every year, we have over-allocated initial teacher training (ITT) places above the number of required trainees estimated by the TSM. This helps us to ensure we train enough teachers, taking account of the likely level of recruitment in each subject.<\/p>

We have published data showing the number of places allocated in each subject. This is published online at:<\/p>

www.gov.uk/government/statistics/initial-teacher-training-allocations-for-academic-year-2014-to-2015<\/a><\/p>

UCAS has published recruitment information for the 2014/15 academic year by subject. This includes data on primary courses and is published online at:<\/p>

www.ucas.com/data-analysis/ucas-teacher-training-statistical-releases<\/a><\/p>

It is important to note that the UCAS Teacher Training scheme is new this year and it is not possible to make a direct comparison with recruitment data from previous years.<\/p>

Recruitment figures from the 2013/14 ITT Census are published online at:<\/p>

The Department for Education publishes national, local authority and school level data in relation to disadvantaged pupils (defined as those who attract pupil premium funding) at key stage 2 and key stage 4 in the school performance tables, which are published online at:<\/p>

www.education.gov.uk/schools/performance<\/a><\/p>

Data covering the last three years is available and shows attainment and progression as well as a comparison with the performance of other pupils.

A GCSE subject level breakdown is published at school level for all pupils and is available from the school performance tables, published online at:<\/p>

www.education.gov.uk/schools/performance/download_data.html<\/a><\/p>

This information is not disaggregated further by pupil groups, including disadvantaged pupils, due to the small numbers that would result from such a breakdown. The majority of the data would need to be suppressed to ensure that no individuals could be identified.<\/p>

The information requested could only be produced at disproportionate cost.<\/p>

School Direct funding is paid to schools by the Education Funding Agency (EFA) on behalf of the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL). EFA gains assurance on all funding transferred, including the NCTL funds. This is done using external auditors, audits and reviews of statutory annual accounts.<\/p>

This year, as we have done every year, we allocated more initial teacher training (ITT) places than the number of required trainees estimated by the teacher supply model to take account of the likely level of recruitment in each subject.<\/p>

<\/p>

As is normal, both lead schools and ITT providers have relinquished places since our initial allocation. Lead schools have relinquished places to train teachers in all subject areas with the exception of applied science.<\/p>

<\/p>

This is based on an analysis of our records using data extracted on 22 July 2014. We intend to publish full detail of the final allocations for the 2014/15 academic year in the coming months.<\/p>

Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the employer, either the local authority or the school, has clear responsibilities to manage asbestos containing materials in schools safely. We expect schools to have an asbestos management plan in place and to manage it actively in line with legal requirements.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department for Education takes the issue of asbestos management in schools very seriously. Our policy, as in other aspects of school management, is to give schools the support that they need to fulfil their responsibilities effectively.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department has set up the Asbestos in Schools Steering Group to raise awareness and promote the effective management of asbestos in schools. We have also published guidance, which is available online at:<\/p>

www.gov.uk/government/publications/asbestos-management-in-schools<\/a><\/p>

<\/p>

We are currently reviewing our asbestos policy and expect to publish the outcomes in the autumn.<\/p>

No places originally allocated to lead schools for School Direct have been offered to higher education providers. Earlier this year, we made a number of places available for those schools that have proven popular with applicants and recruited well. We extended this offer to higher education providers in June.<\/p>

<\/p>

Since they were initially agreed, we have agreed increases to higher education institution (HEI) allocations for a number of reasons. For example, we allocated more places in physics and mathematics throughout the year and we also allowed transfers between particular subjects. The additional places allocated as a result of our offer in June are just part of changes agreed to HEI allocations. We will publish data showing allocations by university and subject in the autumn.<\/p>
