Academies and Free Schools (Performance)

Question

What recent assessment he has made of the performance of pupils in academies and free schools.

Answer

Results continue to improve more quickly in sponsored academies than in local authority maintained schools, at both primary and secondary level. Converter academies continue to outperform other schools and to achieve better inspection outcomes than maintained schools. Of the first wave of 24 free schools, three quarters have been rated outstanding or good.
