HC Deb 09 December 1997 vol 302 cc519-20W
Mr. Spring

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many(a) primary and (b) secondary schools are currently providing sports annual reports and prospectuses. [19482]

Ms Estelle Morris

All maintained schools are required to publish in their prospectus a statement indicating the aims of the governing body with respect to sport at their school and the provision made for sport. In its annual report to parents, the governing body must indicate the extent to which its aims were met and to give details of any notable sporting achievements by the school's teams. In our White Paper "Excellence in schools" we undertook to consult on the balance between requiring schools to include specific information and leaving more to their discretion.

Mr. Spring

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many teachers coaching at(a) primary school level have obtained NVQ 1 and (b) secondary level have obtained NVQ 2. [19484]
