§ Mr. CryerTo ask the Secretary of State for Education what representations have been received against publication of SATs results and how many for publication during the past 12 months.
§ Mr. ForthMy right hon. Friend has not yet issued for consultation proposals for the publication of national curriculum assessment results at school level. It is not, therefore, possible to provide a tabulation of representations for and against publication.
However, over the past 12 months the Department for Education has received many letters about the general issue of the publication of national curriculum assessment results at national, LEA and school level. Precise figures on the numbers for and against publication at the various different levels are not, however, available.
