Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many schools in England and Wales are currently under special measures; and how long each of those schools have been subject to such measures.
For schools in England, this is a matter for Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Amanda Spielman. I have asked her to write to the noble Lord Browne of Belmont directly and a copy of her reply will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses.
For schools in Wales, education is a devolved matter. It is for the National Assembly to decide on policy for schools in Wales.
