<p>Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England
only.</p><p>Academies are held to a high level of accountability and transparency.</p><p>Academies
are required to follow the Education (Independent School Standards) (England) Regulations
2014 as they are independent schools. Under these regulations the proprietor of an
academy must ensure that an annual written report of each registered pupil’s progress
and attainment in the main subject areas taught is provided to the parents of that
registered pupil, except that no report need be sent where the parent has agreed otherwise.
Academy trusts enter into Funding Agreement with my right hon. Friend, the Secretary
of State for Education, which contains a clause concerning information sharing requirements
relating to assessments. It provides that the academy trust must report on assessments
as the Secretary of State requires, or provide any information on assessments, on
the same basis that maintained schools are required to provide the information.</p><p>The
department has no plans to change these arrangements.</p>
