answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2015 answer text <p>The Department for Education has no plans to issue guidance to schools on this matter. The Education (Pupil Information) (England) Regulations 2005 (S.I 1437) require maintained schools to keep curricular and educational records for each pupil, disclose these records to parents and pupils, and report, at least annually, to all parents on their child’s progress and attainment.</p><p> </p><p>Section 576 Education Act 1996 (applicable to The Pupil Information Regulations) provides that the definition of ‘parent’ includes all natural parents, whether they are married or not, and any person who has care of a child, irrespective of whether they are a natural parent or have parental responsibility.</p><p> </p><p>The exception applies in circumstances where there is a court order limiting an individual’s exercise of his or her parental responsibility which expressly amends their entitlement to receive such information.</p><p> </p><p>If a parent feels that they are not receiving the statutory information to which they are entitled, under education law, from the school, they can complain formally to the school by following its complaint procedure.</p><p> </p><p>These statutory duties do not apply to mainstream Academies or Free Schools. As an independent public body, an Academy or Free School is directly responsible, under the Data Protection Act 1998 (DPA), for the collation, retention, storage and security of all information that they produce and hold. In an Academy or Free School, a pupil has the right to a copy of their own educational information under the DPA. In certain circumstances, requests for this information may be made by a parent on behalf of their child.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 20/03/2015 10:00:11 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many planning areas in England are in need of additional primary school places by September 2015; in how many of those planning areas there has never been an application to open a primary or all-through mainstream free school; and how many of these planning areas have no open primary or all-through mainstream free schools.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2015 answer text <p>The Department collects information from local authorities on the number of school places in state-funded primary and secondary schools as part of the annual School Capacity Collection. Out of a total of 2,444 primary planning areas across England, there were 584 primary planning areas where the local authority forecast for 2015/16 (from May 2014) was greater than the capacity as reported at May 2014. This comparison of forecasts and capacities does not take into account the number of additional places that have been or will be created after May 2014, through targeted basic need projects, new free schools, and places being provided through local authority projects.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In the early stages of the free school policy, proposer groups were not obliged to provide a specific site for their proposed school so we are unable to ascertain the number of planning areas in need of additional primary school places in 2015 where there has never been a primary or all-through free school application.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>As at May 2014, 573 of the 584 planning areas in need of additional school places by September 2015 did not have an open primary free school or all-through primary free school. Ten of these planning areas had a primary-phase free school open in September 2014.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Every free school has been opened in response to either the need to provide extra school places, the need to provide parents with greater choice or the need to provide more high quality school places. Almost three quarters of free schools have opened in areas with a forecast need for more places and 94 per cent of free schools approved since January 2014 plan to open in areas with a need for more school places.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Surrey answering member printed Mr Sam Gyimah question first answered 20/03/2015 12:52:57 answering member 3980 label Biography information for Mr Sam Gyimah

uin	227575
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/03/2015 answer text <p>It is vital that all children are able to fulfil their potential. The Department for Education continues to fund the Autism Education Trust which provides training on autism to early years, school and further education staff. Since Spring 2012, approximately 50,000 staff have received training across all levels: level one basic awareness training and level two hands-on tools and techniques training. Level three training has also been provided for those who want to develop their knowledge of autism further or will themselves take on a training role, such as school Special Educational Needs Co-ordinators. The contract for this training has recently been extended for a further year, to the end of March 2016.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Department has funded three autism organisations between 2013-15, including Ambitious about Autism, to work with four general further education colleges and schools to test innovative ways of supporting the transition of young people with autism from school to college. The Department has also provided funding to the National Autistic Society in order to help young people with autism take part in the development of local offers of services, to provide advice to professionals and to fund an exclusion adviser for parents and professionals.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Mr Edward Timpson question first answered 18/03/2015 17:07:16 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
