To ask the Secretary of State for Education what assessment he has made of trends in the number of young people studying at school or college with Saturday jobs or other part-time work.
[132664]
The Department does not collect information on the number of young people with Saturday jobs, but some data on participation of young people in education and employment are available and published in a Department for Education (DFE) Statistical First Release (SFR) entitled "Participation in Education, Training and Employment by 16-18 Year Olds in England".
The first table shows the numbers of 16 to 18-year-olds (academic age) in both full-time education and employment in England between 2001 and 2011; the second table expresses that number as a proportion of all 16 to 18-year-olds in England:

Note that the tables above exclude young people who were doing work-based learning (largely apprenticeships) and also those in employer-funded training; both of these groups are in employment by definition. Also excluded are those in 'other education and training' which is a combination of part-time education and education with a private training provider. Numbers and proportions for these groups are available via the link above.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what advice they offer to schools to support pupils diagnosed with serious illnesses with specific regard to bullying. [HL3981]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what advice they offer to schools to support pupils diagnosed with serious illnesses with specific regard to bullying. [HL3981]
Bullying of any kind and for any reason is totally unacceptable and it is important that when bullying occurs, schools take effective action to ensure it does not happen again.
The Government do not provide specific advice to schools on how they should tackle particular types of bullying. Instead, in our updated advice on bullying, we provide schools with effective strategies they can adopt to tackle and prevent bullying, and a range of actions schools can consider when determining their approach. The advice also provides schools with a list
of further information and support from specialist organisations that they can approach for help on particular issues.

The Department published its “Evaluation of the City Challenge Programme” report in June 2012, and it is available at
https://www.education.gov.uk/publications/RSG/publicationDetail/Page1/DFE-RR215
The report sets out the findings of a mixed methods evaluation of the City Challenge programme in London, Greater Manchester and the Black Country, and retrospectively reviews the London Challenge.
Concerning the latter, it is clear that between 2003 and 2011, secondary pupil attainment in London improved more rapidly than that in other parts of the country. The percentage of London secondary pupils achieving 5 A*-C GCSEs including English and mathematics was below the national figure until 2004, but from 2005 on, was above the national figure.
In the City Challenge, which built on the success and lesson of the London Challenge, the attainment of pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM) increased by more than the national figure in all areas, with the exception of Greater Manchester primary pupils. The attainment gap between pupils eligible for FSM narrowed for London primary-and secondary pupils, and Greater Manchester primary pupils. The proportion of good and outstanding schools increased in all three areas.
The Government is determined to narrow attainment gaps between disadvantaged pupils and their peers in all parts of the country, and that is why we have introduced the pupil premium. This investment currently stands at £1.25 billion and will rise to £1.875 billion in 2013-14. We believe that head teachers and school leaders should decide how to use the pupil premium, as they are the professional experts who know their own pupils' needs. This means that we also expect schools to take the lead responsibility in assessing and accounting for their use of the premium.
The Government has commissioned an external evaluation of the premium's first year, and also asked Ofsted to study how effectively schools are using their premium funding to close the gap between disadvantaged pupils and their peers.
Ofsted published their interim study in September 2012, and they will publish further findings early in 2013. In addition to this, they have an increased focus on the performance of pupils who attract the premium, and on how it is used to remove barriers to learning for premium pupils. Since September 2012, as part of routine school inspection, Ofsted have been holding school leaders to account for how schools have spent their pupil premium and what difference this is making to the learning and progress of the pupils concerned. Their judgments on schools' leadership will consider the use of both the premium and other resources to overcome barriers to achievement for their pupils.
