Education: Assessments

Question
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what assessment he has made of the performance of the Making Good Progress pilots in improving levels of children's literacy; and if he will make a statement.

The Making Good Progress pilot is a two year pilot in over 450 schools running from September 2007 until July 2009. It is being independently evaluated by PricewaterhouseCoopers and a final evaluation report is due in autumn 2009.As the pilot is still in its first year, it is still too early to make this kind of assessment. An interim evaluation report on the first year of the pilot will be published in the autumn term.
