Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they are taking any steps to investigate any correlation between prior attainment and OFSTED grades in respect of selective grammar schools in England.
The Department for Education is not currently taking steps to investigate any correlation between prior attainment and Ofsted grades in respect of selective grammar schools in England. We are, however, reforming the accountability framework for secondary schools to focus on the progress schools make with their pupils regardless of intake.
