To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment (1) if he will publish figures for the average class size, for each school, in the national performance tables for primary schools;[34817](2) if he will publish figures for the average class size in the national performance tables for primary schools. [34883]

Primary school performance tables are published by individual local education authorities. We have no present plans to require the publication of information on class sizes in the tables, but if LEAs wish to publish such information and have the necessary data from schools they are free to do so. We ask all primary schools to consider providing parents with information on class sizes in their school prospectus.
