English SATs

Mr. Gibb: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will revise marking guidelines for Standard Assessment Tests at Key Stage 3 in English to ensure spelling is taken into account in assessing performance. [3029]

Jacqui Smith: The Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) is responsible for the development and marking of the National Curriculum Tests. Spelling has always been assessed in the Key Stage 3 English test and will continue to be.

Faith Communities

Mr. Paul Goodman: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what recent consultations have been carried out by her Department with representatives of faith communities; and if she will make a statement. [3230]

Maria Eagle: The Department for Education and Skills has carried out 46 public consultations since 1 December 2003.

Five of these consultations specified faith communities as part of their target audience:

Application of the Best Value Code of Practice on Workforce Matters in Local Authority Service Contracts to Maintained Schools

Interagency Co-operation to Improve the Wellbeing of Children: Children's Trusts Regulations and Guidance on the Children's and Young People's Plan

Inclusion, Equality and Diversity: Data

School Inspection Regulations

FE Colleges (Targets)

Mr. Stephen O'Brien: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills pursuant to the public service agreement target referred to in the Departmental Report 2004, Cm 6202, page 73, what targets have been set by the (a) Department and (b) learning skills

councils for (i) minimum performance and (ii) value for money for (A) further education colleges and (B) other providers. [3048]

Bill Rammell: The public service agreement committed Government to set minimum performance and value for money targets for further education colleges and institutions, and work based learning providers. The Learning and Skills Council (LSC), working in partnership with the Department, set the minimum performance targets in 2003. Each college has been set a minimum standard for learner achievement and by 2006, every college and 90 per cent. of work based learning providers will be expected to meet or exceed these minimum standards.

Floor targets have been set separately for long and short qualifications for further education colleges and institutions as follows:
Percentage

	Long	Short
General FE (and Tertiary) colleges	45	55
Specialist colleges	45	55
Sixth Form colleges	55	50
Funded further education provision in former external institutions	40	45

In work-based learning two floor targets have been set at 40 per cent. and 35 per cent. for different sectors to reflect variations between them.

Value for money targets for colleges have not yet been set. The Department and LSC will develop and trial new value for money indicators during 2006/07 and implement new measures from 2007/08.

Foundation Schools

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what (a) primary and (b) secondary legislation will be necessary to allow primary schools to become foundation schools. [4089]

Jacqui Smith: Primary and secondary legislation is already in place to allow primary schools which are not foundation schools to acquire foundation status. The relevant provisions are section 35 of, and schedule 8 to, the School Standards and Framework Act; and the Education (Change of Category of Maintained Schools) (England) Regulations 2000, as amended.

The Government's manifesto contains a commitment to enable primary schools to acquire foundation status more easily. This would require amendments to the relevant secondary legislation, which governs the procedures for publishing and deciding proposals to acquire foundation status. We will set out our detailed proposals for implementing this commitment in due course.

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills when she expects the first primary schools to become foundation schools. [4090]

Jacqui Smith: There are already over 360 foundation primary schools in England. Primary schools which are not foundation schools may seek to acquire foundation status by publishing statutory proposals, which are decided by the School Organisation Committee. The

Government intend to enable primary schools to acquire foundation status more easily, and we will set out our detailed proposals in due course.

GCSE Food Technology

David Taylor: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills to what extent the course content of GCSE food technology covers (a) food choice, (b) nutrient provision, (c) nutritional needs of individuals, (d) energy balance and (e) dietary guidelines for health. [3383]

Jacqui Smith: The precise content of GCSE examination courses is set out in subject specifications, which are a matter for individual awarding bodies. Awarding body specifications must, however, conform to subject criteria laid down by QCA.

The GCSE subject criteria for home economics (food and nutrition) specify, among other things, that candidates should demonstrate knowledge and understanding of:

nutrition in relation to the preparation and cooking of food;

the relationship between nutrition and good health;

the effect of the marketing and advertising of food products on consumer choice.

Candidates must also demonstrate knowledge and understanding about diet and health in relation to different family members; and how food choice is affected by a variety of factors.

GCSE Music

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many secondary schools in England offer GCSE music. [4108]

Jacqui Smith: Information on the number of secondary schools offering GCSE music is not centrally available. However, it is possible to provide the number of schools where at least one pupil has attempted GCSE music. In 2003/04, 3,461 out of the 5,353 secondary schools had at least one pupil attempt GCSE music. This is equivalent to 65 per cent. of all secondary schools.

Grammar Schools (Buckinghamshire)

Mr. Paul Goodman: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many children there have been in each (a) grammar school and (b) upper school in Buckinghamshire in each year since 2001, broken down by ethnic group. [3234]

Jacqui Smith: The information requested has been placed in the House of Commons Library.

Inner-London Education

Mr. Denham: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how much each inner London local education authority has received under each Government initiative aimed at raising secondary school standards in each year since 1997. [1743]

Jacqui Smith: The following tables show how much each inner London local education received under each Government initiative aimed at raising standards in secondary schools since 1997–98 The tables also give comparable figures for Southampton local education authority since 1997–98.
