Stephen Timms – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Stephen Timms on 2016-02-11.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps her Department plans to take to publish performance data for academy chains.
Edward Timpson
In March 2015 the Department published a consultative statistical working paper proposing performance measures for multi-academy trusts[1].
In addition, the Department’s school performance tables now allow parents and others to more easily see which academies are within a multi-academy trust and the information for each academy, including their academic performance and Ofsted judgements[2].
Ofsted also carries out focused inspections of groups of academies within multi-academy trusts and these outcomes are published[3].
