Literacy
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will mandate all schools to publish the literacy levels of their pupils on entry and exit from the school.
[147357]
- Answer
-
The Department's School Performance Tables1 already provide information on the distribution of levels attained by pupils at the end of Year 6 in Reading and in Writing; and on the proportion of pupils making at least expected progress in English between Key Stage 1 and the end of Key Stage 2. A Value Added measure also shows the progress pupils have made in English compared with those nationally of similar prior attainment.
We publish similar measures of attainment and progress in English for secondary schools.
Additionally, from 1 September 2012, the School Information (England) (Amendment) Regulations 2012 required schools to publish specified information on the attainment and progress of their pupils and to provide a link to where this information could be found in the Performance Tables.1 www.education.gov.uk/schools/performance
