question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, what assessment he has made of the implications for his Department's policies of the conclusions of the Tell MAMA Annual Report for 2016 on Anti-Muslim Hatred on the gender of victims and the majority identity of perpetrators of such hatred.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/12/2017 answer text <p>We take hate crime in all its forms very seriously: the United Kingdom has some of the strongest hate crime legislation in the world. The statistical breakdowns provided by Tell MAMA give an invaluable insight into the extent and nature of the deplorable abuse which Muslim citizens are subjected to on account of their belief or appearance. It is notable that most reported offline incidents of anti-Muslim hatred involve male perpetrators and that the majority of victims of offline incidents are women, most of whom are visibly Muslim. The Government has committed funding of £100 million to counter violence against women and girls with prosecutions and convictions for such offences rising 63 per cent since 2007-08.</p><p>This Government has done more than any other to tackle anti-Muslim hatred. We set up the first ever cross-government working group on anti-Muslim hatred. We have funded Tell MAMA, the first service to record incidents, support victims and raise community awareness of how to report anti-Muslim hate incidents. We are also disaggregating religious hate crime data held by the police to reveal the true scale and nature of the problem. Funding has been made available for the security of mosques and other faith establishments.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Nuneaton answering member printed Mr Marcus Jones question first answered 07/12/2017 17:34:27 answering member 4024 label Biography information for Mr Marcus Jones

uin	115585
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/11/2017 answer text <p>The average Attainment 8[1] scores of pupils in state funded schools[2], at the end of key stage 4[3], split by whether they entered a GCSE or equivalent[4] qualification in music[5], are presented in the tables below.</p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><p><strong>Academic year 2016/17<strong>[6]</strong></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Total pupils</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average Attainment 8 score</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Pupils not entering music<sup>4</sup></strong></p></td><td><p>486,983</p></td><td><p>45.5</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Pupils entering music<sup>4</sup></strong></p></td><td><p>41,527</p></td><td><p>52.7</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td colspan="3"><p><strong>Academic year 2015/16<sup>6</sup></strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p> </p></td><td><p><strong>Total pupils</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Average Attainment 8 score</strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Pupils not entering music<sup>4</sup></strong></p></td><td><p>495,072</p></td><td><p>49.4</p></td></tr><tr><td><p><strong>Pupils entering music<sup>4</sup></strong></p></td><td><p>45,203</p></td><td><p>55.8</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Differences in Attainment 8 scores occur for a number of reasons. These include the prior attainment of pupils (which is controlled for in the Progress 8 measure) and the number of GCSEs taken by pupils (pupils taking more qualifications are more likely to obtain a higher score and pupils taking more qualifications are more likely to take music). The response to PQ 115227 includes more detail about the Progress 8 measure for pupils who take a music GCSE.</p><p> </p><ol><li>Attainment 8 is a new measure which schools and pupils are still adjusting to and with the ongoing transition to reformed GCSEs, it is expected that Attainment 8 scores will be prone to fluctuations initially. Attainment 8 is comprised of a selection of a pupil’s grades and may not include any music qualifications they have sat, therefore it is not possible to unpick which, if any, factors have a definitive influence on these scores. With data for only two years, it is too soon to draw conclusions. More information on Attainment 8 is available here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/659860/Secondary_accountability_measures_guide.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/659860/Secondary_accountability_measures_guide.pdf</a>.</li><li>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, pupil referral units and alternative provision.</li><li>Pupils are identified as being at the end of key stage 4 if they were on roll at the school and in year 11 at the time of the January school census for that year. Age is calculated as at 31 August for that year, and the majority of pupils at the end of key stage 4 were age 15 at the start of the academic year. Some pupils may complete this key stage in an earlier or later year group.</li><li>Also includes entries in graded music qualifications.</li><li>Pupils are recorded as ‘entering music’ if they sat at least one exam in any music qualification which is counted in the secondary school performance tables as a GCSE, equivalent or graded music qualification.</li><li>2015/16 data is final; 2016/17 data is provisional.</li></ol><p> </p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 29/11/2017 16:21:13 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
