Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what discussions the Regional Schools Commissioner for East of England and North East London has had with the Inspiration Trust about the pupil behaviour policy of the Great Yarmouth Charter Academy.

When Insipration Trust took on this failing school, it looked to develop a new behaviour policy at Great Yarmouth Charter School. The final version was published on the school website on 12 September. The content of an academy's pupil behaviour policy is a matter for the individual Trust. However, the Regional Schools Commissioner has sought reassurances that all sickness cases are dealt with sympathetically and appropriately and not as stated.
