Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of new (a) academy schools, (b) free schools, (c) studio schools, (d) UTCs and (e) local authority maintained schools have failed their first Ofsted inspection; and what the average length of time has been before a new school is first inspected in each of the last five years.
This is a matter for Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, Amanda Spielman. I have asked her to write to you and a copy of her reply will be placed in the libraries of both Houses.
