Local authorities are responsible for ensuring their own compliance with procurement rules and all other relevant legislation.<\/p>

The Department for Education recently sought legal advice on the relationship and interaction between the duties on local authorities in respect of the placement of children and young people with special educational needs in specialist educational institutions and local authority obligations to tender for services under the public procurement regime and are awaiting a response. In the light of the legal advice the Department receives, we will communicate with local authorities by the spring so they are clear on the position.<\/p>

We welcome Her Majesty\u2019s Chief Inspector\u2019s report which highlights continuing improvement in schools and further education. The report shows that there are now over a million more children being taught in good and outstanding schools than in 2010. The Chief Inspector is right to highlight areas which require further improvement and these matters will form part of the regular discussion between ministers and Ofsted. As part of its role, the Commons Education Select Committee will be taking evidence from the Chief Inspector about the Annual Report at its hearing on 28 January 2015 and we will consider the evidence from that session as part of our ongoing discussions with the Chief Inspector.

The importance of vocabulary development is emphasised and integrated throughout the National Curriculum framework. This covers both general vocabulary development and the subject-specific language that pupils need to be able to use to progress in, for example, mathematics and science. Both the reading and writing domains of the English programmes of study emphasise the importance of building pupils\u2019 vocabulary, so they understand and can use a wide range of words.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The approach to developing vocabulary is first through securing word reading and comprehension and second through pupils developing an understanding of how words and meaning can be created using prefixes and suffixes. Morphology and etymology are emphasised at Key Stage 2 to further develop pupils\u2019 capacity for understanding and developing vocabulary. This is brought together in the appendix covering vocabulary, grammar and punctuation, which also sets out the terminology that pupils should be taught to use to discuss their writing.<\/p>
