Written Question
Education
Monday 30th November 2015

Asked by: Steven Paterson (Scottish National Party - Stirling)

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what progress her Department is making on early intervention programmes to reduce educational inequality.

Answered by Sam Gyimah

We recognise the vital importance of early intervention, particularly for the most disadvantaged members of society and the crucial role played by education and children’s services in promoting good outcomes for children and families. The latest Early Years Foundation Stage Profile results available at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/early-years-foundation-stage-profile-results-2014-to-2015 show that the proportion of children achieving a good level of development in relation to the most deprived areas, SEN, free school meal eligibility, term of birth, first language and ethnicity is improving. The proportion of children eligible for FSM has increased from 45% in 2014 to 51% in 2015 and the gap between FSM and other children has narrowed from 18.9 percentage points in 2014 to 17.7 in 2015.
