Mr. Gibb
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what assessment he has made of the effect of in-school variation on value added standards of achievement at key stage 3 and GCSE. [96714]
Mr. Miliband
There is evidence of wide variation in pupil progress in schools. The Department plans to publish a Statistical Bulletin later this year analysing value added at each key stage by pupil characteristics. This will for the first time link the new Pupil Level Annual School Census data with value added data.
