To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to address issues of integrity and accountability in the regulation of public examinations in England.[HL2281]

The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) regulates qualifications, examinations and assessments in England. It is Ofqual's duty to ensure that qualifications are correctly valued and understood, now and in the future. Ofqual is a non-ministerial government department, accountable directly to Parliament.
Ministers have publicly committed to restoring confidence in the exams system by strengthening Ofqual to make it a more assertive and powerful regulator. New powers within the Education Act 2011 give Ofqual the ability to fine awarding organisations.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the allegations of exam cheating at Kingsdale Foundation School in Dulwich, whether they will consider giving Ofsted the power to inspect academy chains.[HL2460]
To ask Her Majesty’s Government, in the light of the allegations of exam cheating at Kingsdale Foundation School in Dulwich, whether they will consider giving Ofsted the power to inspect academy chains.[HL2460]
The allegations of exam cheating at Kingsdale Foundation School are a matter for the awarding bodies to investigate rather than Ofsted. There are no current plans to give Ofsted a specific power to inspect academy chains and, indeed, Kingsdale Foundation School is not part of an academy chain.

This year, the Government are providing £50 million to fund summer schools for disadvantaged children (those eligible for free school meals or in public care). These schools will ease the transition between primary and secondary school for eligible pupils by allowing pupils to familiarise themselves with their new surroundings. Specific activities will vary according to the needs of the children involved, but may cover catch-up in English and mathematics and enrichment activity such as trips to museums or sports venues.
The Deputy Prime Minister announced on 14 May 2012 that the Education Endowment Foundation will shortly be inviting groups of schools to bid for additional funding for literacy catch up for disadvantaged Year 7 pupils who did not achieve the expected level (Level 4) at Key Stage 2. An additional £10 million will be provided for these projects. The projects will be evaluated and the results shared with all schools.
Lord Bew’s 2011 review into Key Stage 2 testing, assessment and accountability acknowledged the importance of providing information about attainment at the time of transition. We will encourage secondary schools to make wider use of this data to support new Year 7 pupils.
The new national curriculum for English will ensure that teachers prepare pupils for secondary school by ensuring their reading is sufficiently fluent and effortless, and that they have a conscious control over their writing in order to manage the general demands of the curriculum in Year 7, across all subjects.
