The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what information her Department holds on the metrics by which the new Ofsted report cards will judge their inclusion criterion.

Answered by Catherine McKinnell

The department is working closely with Ofsted on inspection reform. Schools should be held accountable for their approach to inclusion so that all children are given the high quality support they need to learn and thrive. Report cards are currently in development and will be consulted upon in the new year.
