Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government what target they have to reduce the number of children in 'stuck' schools over each of the next three years.

The legacy inherited by this government was over 300,000 pupils in more than 600 ‘stuck’ schools, many of which were not structurally changed under the previous government.

The new regional improvement for standards and excellence (RISE) teams will galvanise local high quality organisations to support ‘stuck’ schools that are still within the same structure since their last inspection. The department is also consulting on making structural intervention the default if the necessary improvement is not made within two years for these ‘stuck’ schools.

RISE teams are expected to begin engaging with around 600 ‘stuck’ schools within the next 15 months.
