Nick Gibb – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Nick Gibb on 2014-04-08.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether Ofsted’s interpretation of closing the attainment gap between pupils eligible and not eligible for free school meals relates to the gap in attainment nationally or in the school being inspected.

Mr David Laws

This question is a matter for Ofsted. I have asked Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, to write to the hon. Member. A copy of his reply has been placed in the House Library.
