Sarah Teather

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the average class size for(a) primary schools and (b) secondary schools in (i) Brent East constituency, (ii) the London Borough of Brent, (iii) London and (iv) England was in each year since 1997. [149897]

Mr. Stephen Twigg

The requested information is given in the tables.

Mr. Miliband

[holding answer 22 January 2004]The Department has made no assessment of this particular matter. The weight attached to particular judgments within an individual school inspection is a matter for Ofsted. I have asked HM Chief Inspector, David Bell, to write to the hon. Member and place a copy of his letter in the Library.
