Unique Pupil Numbers

Mr. Boswell: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment, pursuant to his answer of 7 February 2001, Official Report, column 579W, what arrangements will be made to allocate unique pupil numbers to pupils in England who (a) commence their

education in the non-maintained sector and (b) move between maintained and non-maintained sectors during their school career. [150086]

Ms Estelle Morris: The Department is discussing with the Independent Schools Council the possibility of the unique pupil number (UPN) system being extended to pupils in independent schools, although no decisions have yet been taken. For as long as it remains the case that UPNs are allocated only to pupils in the maintained sector: (a) pupils who commence their education in the non-maintained sector will not during that period have a UPN, but will be allocated one by the first maintained school they enter;

(b) pupils who move between maintained and non-maintained sectors during their school career should be allocated a UPN at the beginning of their first spell in the maintained sector and retain that for each subsequent spell, even though the UPN will be inactive during intervening periods in the non-maintained sector. There is inevitably a risk in these cases of the thread being lost, and new UPNs being allocated to pupils who already have one. However, the central pupil database described in my earlier answer, 7 February 2001, Official Report, column 579W, (ref. 148383) will, once established, be able to provide LEAs and schools with a "tracing service" for lost UPNs.

Teaching Standards (Leeds)

Mr. Hilary Benn: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what percentage of teaching was identified as being (a) satisfactory or better, (b) good or better, (c) very good or better and (d) excellent in Ofsted reports published on (i) primary and (ii) secondary schools in Leeds LEA in each of the last four years. [150106]

Ms Estelle Morris: This is a matter for Ofsted and I have therefore asked HM Chief Inspector of Schools, Mike Tomlinson, to write to my hon. Friend and to place a copy of his letter in the Library.

New Deal for Schools (Great Yarmouth)

Mr. Anthony D. Wright: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list the schools in the Great Yarmouth constituency which have received funding under the New Deal for Schools since May 1997, indicating the sums involved in each case. [150188]

Jacqui Smith: The following table shows those schools in the Great Yarmouth constituency which have benefited from investment through the New Deal for Schools programme, which commenced in 1997-98. These allocations formed part of the £16.793 million investment made in schools in the Norfolk local education authority under the New Deal for Schools programme. In total, since 1997, Norfolk local education authority has received some £55.559 million of funding for capital investment in school buildings.
