House of Commons Hansard Written Answers for 4 Jul 2002 (pt 12)

Standard Spending Assessment (Somerset)

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what plans she has to increase the level of the standard spending assessment per pupil in Somerset to the average such figure for England; and if she will make a statement. [66273]

Mr. Miliband: We intend to commence consultation on detailed options for a new education funding system shortly, which will run over the summer. We will take decisions in time for the local government finance settlement and implement the new system in 2003–04. At this stage it is not possible to say how individual authorities will be affected by the new system.

Value-added League Tables

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills whether value-added league tables are available for all schools; and if she will make a statement. [66283]

Mr. Miliband: This year, we intend to publish value- added measures in the secondary school performance tables of progress made from Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3 and from Key Stage 3 to GCSE/GNVQ for all secondary schools. We are also conducting a pilot programme for measures of progress made from Key Stage 1 to Key Stage 2 for primary schools, with full publication planned for 2003. We aim to pilot a measure of value-added between Key Stage 2 and GCSE/GNVQ in 2003, and between GCSE/GNVQ and A/AS level in 2004, prior to full publication the following year.

Education Action Zones

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many education action zones exist; where they are; and if she will make a statement. [66285]

School Admissions

Mr. Pickthall: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what mechanisms she has to guarantee fair admissions in the secondary school system as restructured according to her plans. [66364]

Mr. Miliband: The Education Bill will place a duty on LEAs to co-ordinate the admissions process for their area. Every admission authority in that area will have a duty to comply with the agreed co-ordination scheme for their area. The scheme will set out a common timetable for local admissions, and ensure that all parents state their preferred schools on a single form and are made a single offer of a school place on the same day. This will be fairer than the current system—where some parents may hold multiple offers of places, while others have none. All maintained schools and academies will be part of these local schemes. Admission forums will be responsible for

monitoring the admissions process in their area, to check that it operates in the best interests of children and parents.

School Leavers

Mr. Laws: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many pupils left school or formal education at the age of 16 years as a proportion of the total cohort in each local authority area, in each year from 1990–91 and 2001–02; and if she will make a statement. [66277]

4 Jul 2002 : Column 502W

Mr. Miliband: The proportions of 16-year-olds who were not in full-time education in each year 1990–91 to 1999–2000, by local education authority, are given in the following table. Some of these will of course be involved in part-time education or work based learning.

The participation rates by LEA are taken from an annual statistical bulletin, 'Participation in Education and Training by Young People Aged 16 and 17 in Each Local Area and Region, England'. The year 1999–2000 is the latest for which figures are available.
