To ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans his Department has to reform school performance measures to include destination data and include the number of school students who enter employment or work-based training.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education what plans his Department has to reform school performance measures to include destination data and include the number of school students who enter employment or work-based training.
The Department for Education aims is to publish both the key stage 4 (KS4) and key stage 5 (KS5) destination measures in performance tables once we are content that the data are robust enough. KS4 education destinations are already included in performance tables, and have been since 2013, but before we publish full destinations data we have to test and evaluate it fully to ensure reliability.
We published the KS5 destination measure as experimental statistics in the 2014 destinations statistical first release1 because of the inclusion of new institutions, such as independent schools and special schools, for the first time. The employment, training and characteristics data need to be fully tested and evaluated before they can be published on the performance tables website. Tables, including employment data and breakdowns of the data based on student characteristics for former KS4 students, have also been published in the destination measures’ statistical first release (experimental statistics) alongside the KS5 data.1 Available at:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what assessment he has made of the effect of progress 8 performance measures since their introduction in secondary schools.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education what assessment he has made of the effect of progress 8 performance measures since their introduction in secondary schools.
Progress 8 will be the headline secondary school performance measure from 2016. This will be based on qualifications which schools will begin teaching in the autumn term of 2014. The new performance measures aim to encourage schools to offer a broad and balanced curriculum that meets the needs of all pupils.
More schools than ever are entering pupils for the English Baccalaureate, which encourages the study of science, a language and a humanities subject alongside maths and English.
The railway line from my constituency to London is probably the worst in the country for regularity, speed and reliability. May I urge the Secretary of State to persuade Network Rail and First Great Western to take this Cinderella line to the ball at last?

If my hon. Friend was here at the start of questions, he will have heard a number of Members call for better services in their areas. I think the line that he mentions does get substantial investment as a result of the intercity express programme, and I therefore hope he will get the better services he wants.

In the older form of Passenger's Charter used by First Great Western, specially calculated performance figures are used to show passenger eligibility for season ticket holder discounts. These figures are calculated differently from the Public Performance Measure and the 'right-time' arrivals figures, which are otherwise the main source of published performance data.
Under the Delay/Repay form of Passenger's Charter, used by most other train operators, such information is no longer required for this purpose as it is individual journeys for which recompense is paid.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the reliability and punctuality of passenger services on the North Cotswold Line; and if he will instruct First Great Western to commence publishing this information separately in its Passenger Charter figures.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what assessment he has made of the reliability and punctuality of passenger services on the North Cotswold Line; and if he will instruct First Great Western to commence publishing this information separately in its Passenger Charter figures.
The doubling of the North Cotswold line has delivered six additional services and has reduced journey times by up to 10 minutes.
The Moving Annual Average Public Performance Measure is currently 81.96%. This reflects the very difficult problems caused by the recent severe weather, in particular the flooding at Hinksey near Oxford.
We have no plans at this time to ask any train operator to publish such information separately in its Passenger Charter figures.
