Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how frequently the delivery boards for (a) education investment areas and (b) priority education investment areas are provided with data on pupil outcomes in each area.

Education Investment Areas (EIAs) do not have delivery boards. The subset of EIAs that are Priority Education Investment Areas do have local partnership boards, but these are advisory only. These boards were provided with data on pupil outcomes for their areas at the outset of the programme to help them advise the Department on the key issues to be addressed in each area and to identify local targets for pupil outcomes. They will continue to be provided with data on a regular basis, to help them advise the Department on the implementation and impact of the programme.
