To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families whether he has discussed with Ofsted the commissioning of research on the relative frequency of primary schools, junior schools and infant schools being placed in either special measures or notice to improve categories. (179397)

Ofsted and the DCSF have discussed the relative performance of different types of school in the primary age phase, and are continuing to analyse relevant data. I will write to the hon. Member with further details.
