52 After Clause 42, insert the following new clause—

STATEMENT ON SPIRITUAL, MORAL, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT OF PUPILS

(" . The governing body of every maintained school shall publish, once in each school year, a statement on the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of its pupils which shall—

  1. (a) describe how the school intends to promote such development;
  2. (b) describe what targets the school has set for this development;
  3. (c) describe what means of assessment will be used to monitor this development; and
  4. (d) report upon the achievement or otherwise of those targets.").

The Commons disagreed to the amendment for the following reason—

52A Because the amendment would create an undesirable additional burden for schools.
