Proceeding contribution from Baroness Sharp of Guildford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 12 July 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.


Education and Inspections Bill

It seems to me that it is pejorative for the noble Lord to speak of the higher performing schools, as though by definition community schools are low performing schools and voluntary-aided schools are not. I know there is some evidence—the noble Baroness, Lady Buscombe, cited some evidence—to indicate that there is a higher performance in voluntary-aided schools, but when one looks at the Sutton Trust research one sees that that is very closely linked to income.
