Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of pupils attended schools that were rated (a) inadequate and (b) requires improvement in each local authority area in each of the most recent five years for which figures are available.
I am pleased that over one million more children are now in schools that are good or better than in 2010. Ofsted publish data for each local authority area and I have asked Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw to write to you on this matter. A copy of his reply will be placed in the library of the House.
