Letter from Christine Gilbert, dated 22 May 2009:

Your recent parliamentary question has been passed to me, as Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector, for a response.

Tables A and B show which schools have been placed in special measures twice and three times. Between 1 September 1997 and 31 December 2008,1,940 maintained schools were placed in special measures once, and 67 schools were placed in special measures twice. One school, Malvern Hills Primary School, was placed in special measures three times. This school has now closed. No school has been placed in special measures more than three times.

Of the 67 schools that required special measures a second time, five were found to require special measures at their re-inspection without ever being removed from this category. Technically, they remained in special measures. They are included at the foot of Table B. Data for the spring term 2009 have not yet been published and are not included in these figures.

A copy of this reply has been sent to Rt Hon Jim Knight MP, Minister of State for Schools and Learners, and will be placed in the library of both Houses.
