Schools: Standards
(asked on 10th June 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what criteria will be used to determine whether a school is coasting.
This question was answered on 15th June 2015
Draft regulations on the definition of coasting will be published at Committee stage.
These will be based on performance over a number of years. The number of schools categorised as coasting will therefore vary from year to year, depending on the outcome of examination and test results.
The definition will focus on data, will reflect performance over time and will capture schools that are failing to support their pupils to fulfil their potential.
