Prisons: Population
The Lord Bishop of Salisbury asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Minister of State, Home Office (Baroness Scotland of Asthal): NOMS is managing the pressure on the prison estate by building more capacity. In addition to current building programmes, 8,000 places were announced in the CJS review in July 2006. These places will be completed over the next six years through a mixture of expansions at existing prisons and building a number of new prisons.
The Government have outlined their commitment to provide custodial places for those serious, sexual and prolific offenders who need to be there and to ensure that courts have tough community sentences at their disposal to deal with less serious, non-violent offenders. There are people in our prisons who should not be there, including some foreign national prisoners, vulnerable women, and those with mental health issues.
Schools: Academies
Baroness Walmsley asked Her Majesty's Government:
For each school which was an academy in September 2006, what percentage of pupils achieved five or more GCSE passes at grades A* to C at the academy or its predecessor school in (a) 2001; (b) 2003; (c) 2005; and (d) 2006; and in which year each school became an academy. [HL912]
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Department for Education and Skills (Lord Adonis): The details requested above are all available in the table below.
| GCSE and equivalent results for Academies and their predecessor schools |
| Percentage of 15 year-olds achieving 5+A*-C |
| Academy | Year open | Predecessor School(s) | 2001% 5A*-C | 2003 % 5A*-C | 2005 % 5A*-C |

Baroness Walmsley asked Her Majesty's Government:
How many head teachers have been appointed at each academy, and in cases where more than one has been appointed, what was the period in post for which each head teacher served; and what is the average salary of the head teacher of an academy as at April 2006.[HL914]
Lord Adonis: Of the 46 academies open in December 2006, 38 have the same principal as on their day of opening. Eight academies have had more than one principal. Details of their service are set out in the table below.
