Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Answer of 5 May 2016 to Question 35933, on primary education, where the proportion of the teachers and head teachers who supported the principle of the assessment reforms when responding to the 2013 consultation appears in the analysis of consultation responses.

The response to Question 35933 stated that the consultation in 2013 was an important exercise to seek views on aspects of policy. An answer to that question does not, therefore, appear anywhere in the consultation.

We work with teachers and head teachers as a matter of course. This included the 2013 primary assessment and accountability consultation.
