Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morgan of Huyton (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Academies Bill [HL].

Academies Bill [HL]

I am sorry to intervene but I do not think that is right. What the noble Lord is talking about is what can be claimed to be the obsessions about narrow forms of data that dominate a lot of inspections at the moment and therefore dominate a lot of headlines. However, the intelligent use of data in terms of tracking individual pupils is something an inspector needs in addition to all the qualitative work that the noble Baroness, Lady Perry, talked about. When schools are only just starting to get there on using data in an intelligent way, it would be a retrograde step to chuck that out and return to the rather blunter instruments of the public lists which do not do the more sophisticated work that I am talking about.
