Prior to 2010 the Department for Education\u2019s central records of new establishments do not allow us to determine if schools are new provision or whether they replace existing schools (i.e. due to an amalgamation or move from three tier to two tier education).<\/p>

Since then the number of schools that have applied to become academies is as follows:<\/p>

i <\/sup>Schools which have converted to academy status are not identified for conversion by the local authority. It is up to individual schools to apply to convert to become academies unless they are underperforming, in which case the department will look to match them with a sponsor.<\/p>

Between 2010 and 2012, local authorities held 41 competitions under section 7 of the Education and Inspections Act 2006, as amended by the Education Act 2011, to create new schools. The numbers opening per academic year are:<\/p>

In addition, the department also records all new academies created under local authorities\u2019 duties to secure sufficient schools (section 14 of the Education Act 1996) since the academy presumption was established in February 2012. Ninety-two new academies have been created, or are in the process of being created, through this route (75 in agreement, 17 in the pipeline).<\/p>

Schools should secure face-to-face advice and guidance where it is the most suitable support for young people to make successful transitions. The statutory guidance for schools makes it clear that this is likely to be particularly useful for pupils with special educational needs (SEN), learning difficulties or disabilities; and that this group of pupils should receive advice about all of the education, training and employment opportunities on offer and information on the full range of specialist provision.<\/p>

<\/p>

The statutory guidance also emphasises the need for schools to have high aspirations for all pupils with SEN, learning difficulties or disabilities. It requires schools to work with local authorities around the provision of specialist support services. Where a student has an Education, Health and Care Plan, this must include a focus on preparing for adulthood, including employment, independent living and participation in society. The Government encourages schools to have closer links with employers who will help inspire all pupils about the world of work.<\/p>

The Department for Education has read the report and is aware of the issues and concerns raised.<\/p>

<\/p>

Her Majesty\u2019s Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, has repeatedly made clear that Ofsted does not have a preferred teaching style. It is up to the classroom teacher to determine how they should teach. Ofsted\u2019s judgements on teaching are predicated on whether children are learning, progressing and achieving good outcomes.<\/p>

<\/p>

We recognise the importance of Ofsted delivering a consistently good service across a broad remit. Sir Michael has taken a keen interest in the quality and consistency of inspections and has announced that Ofsted's inspections of schools will be brought in-house from September 2015 to enable direct control over the selection and training of additional inspectors, and more control over quality assurance.<\/p>
