Answer: Dr. Kumar: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what criteria were used in determining the need for an OFSTED inspection of Easternside Primary School in Middlesbrough within three years of the previous inspection. [50874] Mr. Byers: The timing of school inspections is a matter for Ofsted. Easternside Primary School, Middlesbrough, was inspected in July 1995 and I understand that HM Chief Inspector has arranged for the school to be inspected in October 1998. I have asked him to write to my hon. Friend, to explain the reasons for that decision, and to place a copy of his letter in the Library.
