uin	187033
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 answer text <p>Since the introduction of reformed GCSEs there are now very few international GCSEs which count in performance tables and the EBacc measures;[1] the only eligible English, maths, science and humanities qualifications eligible for inclusion in the EBacc are reformed GCSEs. There will be no pupils in an independent or a state-funded school with a full EBacc entry consisting wholly of international GCSE entries. A pupil could be completing international GCSEs in a range of EBacc subjects, but these would not all count in performance tables; meaning the pupil would not be included in the EBacc entry measure if they sat wholly international GCSEs.</p><p> </p><p>The low number of international GCSEs that count in the EBacc entry measure means the majority of pupils with a full EBacc entry in both school types will have an EBacc entry wholly of GCSEs, but a small number will consist of a mix of GCSE and international GCSE entries. This number is not held separately and can only be obtained at disproportionate cost.</p><p> </p><p>[1] Cambridge International Level 1/Level 2 Certificate in Greek and Cambridge International Level 1/Level 2 Certificate in Mandarin Chinese.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 06/11/2018 16:06:34 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

uin	186952
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 answer text <p>Since May 2018, levy-paying employers have been able to transfer up to 10% of their unused apprenticeship service funds to non-levy paying employer(s) to pay for the training and assessment cost of the apprenticeships agreed with the receiving employer. From May 2018, when the employers became able to make levy transfers, to July 2018 [2017-18 Academic Year] less than 1% of levy funds in employer apprenticeship service accounts were used to fund apprenticeships in this way for non-levy paying employers.</p><p> </p><p>Other than through a levy transfer from a levy paying employer, apprenticeship levy funds cannot be accessed by non-levy paying employers.

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what changes there have been in the social background of children in secondary level education in the bottom quartile for educational attainment from 2007 to 2017.
tabling member constituency	East Londonderry
tabling member printed	Mr Gregory Campbell
uin	186976
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/11/2018 answer text <p>The percentage of disadvantaged pupils[1], in state-funded schools[2], in the bottom quartile[3] of Attainment 8 points for 2014/15 - 2016/17 is given in the attached table, along with the percentage of disadvantaged pupils in all state-funded schools for comparison.</p><p>In order to accurately identify the bottom quartile of pupils, an attainment measure with sufficient granularity is required. The Department’s current headline attainment measure (Attainment 8) provides this but was only introduced in 2014/15. There is no current headline attainment measure with data available that is comparable over the requested period (2007 to 2017).</p><p> </p><p>[1] A pupil is classed as disadvantaged if they are known to have been eligible for free school meals in the past six years, if they are recorded as having been looked after for at least one day or if they are recorded as having been adopted from care.</p><p>[2] State-funded schools include academies, free schools, city technology colleges, further education colleges with provision for 14 to 16 year olds and state-funded special schools. They exclude independent schools, independent special schools, non-maintained special schools, hospital schools and alternative provision.</p><p>[3] As numerous pupils can share the same score, splitting the cohort into precise quartiles is not possible. In 2014/15, 26.1% of pupils were included in the ‘bottom quartile’, in 2015/16 it was 26.0% and in 2016/17 it was 25.3%. This will have some effect on the proportions of disadvantaged pupils, as relatively fewer pupils are included in later years, but the nature of that effect cannot be definitively stated.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 06/11/2018 16:39:36 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb attachment 1 file name 186976_attainment_table.pdf title Attainment_table_state_funded_schools
