Question to the Department for Education:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether any specific action is being taken by Regional Improvement in Standards and Excellence at The March Church of England Primary School in Chichester to improve academic standards.

The March Church of England Primary School in Chichester is not eligible to receive targeted support from a regional improvement in standards and excellence (RISE) adviser, as it was rated ‘Good’ in its most recent Ofsted inspection in March 2023. However, the school will be able to access the new RISE universal support service which is being launched. Through this service, the school will have access to training packages, networking and best practice through specialist hubs, to support its improvement.
