| Labour launches radical school reforms |
Labour’s Schools Secretary Ed Balls, has announced radical new school reforms to build on the massive improvements in the last decade; create a world-class education system; and build a strong economy and work force for the future. The White Paper – ‘Your Child, Your Schools, Our Future’ – sets out Labour's plan to continue school improvement. The creation of a Pupil Guarantee will offer one-to-one tuition in English and Maths for children under 11 at risk of falling behind and a Year 7 “Progress Check” to offer extra support for 11-year-olds who start secondary school below expectations. The guarantee also provides for extra support for gifted and talented learners, specialist outside help for health and social problems, a say on how their school is doing and how it can be improved, a Personal Tutor at secondary school and five hours PE or sport a week. The new Parent Guarantee will help parents be involved in their child’s school, with school discipline agreements properly enforced. This will include clearer information about their child’s school performance; help and advice on choosing schools; and high quality advice about their career and subject choices. Parents will also be guaranteed access to a named personal tutor, online information about child’s attainment, progress and attendance, more influence on their school and access to additional support on childcare, activities and health services for their child. Strengthened Home-School Agreements will clearly set out schools rules and the responsibilities of pupils and their families. Heads will have a...
