HC Deb 07 February 1995 vol 254 c119W
Mr. Jamieson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what reassessment has been made of the list of admissible schools by the Service Children's Education Authority in the light of(a) the Her Majesty's inspectorate and Office for Standards in Education reports and (b) the league table of examination results.

Mr. Soames

No reassessment of the admissible schools list has been made in the light of the Her Majesty's inspectorate and Office for Standards in Education reports and the league table of examination results. The Service Children's Education Authority makes Ofsted reports available to service parents, and examination league tables are provided on request.

Mr. Jamieson

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment has been made by the Service Children's Education Authority of the provision for the education and welfare of service children at(a) Rodney school, Nottinghamshire, and (b) Finborough school, Suffolk.

Mr. Soames

The Service Children's Education Authority does not assess the provision of education and welfare at schools. Such assessments are the responsibility of the Department for Education, Her Majesty's inspectorate and the Office for Standards in Education. SCEA offers an advisory service to parents whose children already attend boarding schools and to those who are considering a boarding education for their children.
