§ Mr. David NicholsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many schools by local education authority have been deemed by Office for Standards in Education inspectors to be failing to provide a satisfactory standard of education. [16171]
§ Mr. Robin SquireThe information requested on the 243 failing schools, as at 31 January 1997, is given in the following table. In addition, I have placed in the Library a coloured map containing the same information.
For completeness, I should add that 18 schools have already been restored to health as a result of the special measures policy and 12 have closed.
