§ Mr. JamiesonTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence, pursuant to his answer of 18 December,Official Report, column 982, if he will make a statement about the review of pastoral care arrangements at Quantock school carried out by the Service Children's Education Authority; if he will place a copy of its findings in the Library; and what arrangements have been made to convey the findings of the SCEA to parents of service children at the school. [24206]
§ Mr. SoamesTwo Office for Standards in Education-qualified SCEA staff visited Quantock school on 21 February 1996. Based upon their observations, it is SCEA's view that pastoral and guidance arrangements at Quantock school are entirely adequate with no obvious areas of concern. SCEA will continue to advise service parents in the normal way that Quantock school is suitable for attendance by service children.
SCEA staff visit independent schools by invitation to assess pastoral care arrangements for service children; they have no statutory right of access. Visit reports are therefore written on the understanding that they remain for internal use only.
