Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the remarks by Lord Agnew of Oulton on 29 March, how they have calculated the figure of 1.9 million additional children who are in good or outstanding schools since 2010.

As at 31 December 2017, there were 6,714,920 children in good or outstanding schools. As at 31 August 2010, there were 4,855,336 children in good or outstanding schools. This represents a difference of 1,859,584 more children in good or outstanding schools than in 2010. The figures are derived from published Ofsted data. [1]
