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, what criteria Ofsted uses when inspecting academies that do not follow the National Curriculum in Key Stage 3 and do not use National Curriculum levels; and how Ofsted judges pupil progress in these circumstances.

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.
