tabling member printed	Lord Goddard of Stockport
uin	HL2113
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/09/2022 answer text <p>To meet the current and future threats, the Army is aiming to be &quot;More Ready&quot;, which includes increasing the availability and readiness of our Armoured Fighting Vehicle fleet (AFVs).</p><p>In addition to increased activity across Europe in support of NATO, there has also been a significant increase in the Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFVs) placed within units. This means the vehicles are maintained and utilised more by personnel, rather than being held in storage. Similarly, an enlarged training fleet of AFVs has allowed for increased AFV driver and commander training to be carried out.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 20/09/2022 14:36:15 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie

question text	To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they plan to take to co-ordinate good leadership with local authorities to improve the attainment levels of disadvantaged pupils.
tabling member printed	Lord Storey
uin	HL2113
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/10/2014 answer text <p>The Department for Education expects local authorities to provide strategic leadership to improve the attainment of disadvantaged pupils in their maintained schools. This was set out in the recently revised guidance to local authorities on <em>Schools Causing Concern</em>, which was published in May 2014. Since May 2013, Ofsted has inspected local authority school improvement arrangements which relate to their duty to ensure that, ‘their education functions are exercised with a view to promote high standards and fulfilment of potential’ (Education Act 1996, s13a).</p><p>My Rt. hon. Friend the Minister of State for Schools, has met leaders from the nine local authorities that have failed these inspections to date. These discussions have focused on the attainment of disadvantaged pupils. In addition, in his role as Pupil Premium Champion, Sir John Dunford has worked closely with school leaders in 25 local authority areas with the poorest results for disadvantaged pupils during the 2013/14 school year. This work continues.</p><p>Peer-to-peer support for school leaders is a highly effective way to tackle poor school performance. The Department is therefore increasing the number of National Leaders of Education (NLEs) and the number of teaching schools. The National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) has designated over 900 NLEs and establish 602 teaching schools to date, and some local authorities use local teaching school alliances and national leaders to provide school improvement.</p><p>The Talented Leaders programme and School-to-School Support Fund, both launched on 10 September 2014 by the Minister of State for Schools, will also help drive school improvement through better leadership. The Talented Leaders programme will recruit one hundred talented school leaders and deploy them to take on headship positions in challenging schools, working with local authorities who sign up to the programme. The £13m School-to-School Support Fund will support NLEs and teaching schools to undertake deployment in under-performing maintained schools and academies.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 24/10/2014 11:32:32 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
