To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to the Written Statement of 2 September 2024 entitled Education reforms to deliver on the government’s opportunity mission, HCWS54, whether it is her policy to replace single headline grades for alternative provision education providers.

The government’s announcement to remove Ofsted’s single headline grades with immediate effect included state-funded alternative provision schools. The government is committed to removing single headline grades in all the remits that Ofsted inspects and replacing them with report cards.
