17 Jun 2025Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 864)

If the review were to take one thing from that to apply nationally to make the biggest impact change, what would you say that is?

Good morning. My question is also for Sean Harris. The Curriculum and Assessment Review includes a focus on employability. Could you talk a bit about how Tees Valley’s work with employers has helped to ensure that young people, school leavers, understand what the opportunities are for them locally and how they then att

A number of you have already made the observation that media literacy and digital citizenship are split across a number of curriculum subjects and sometimes ad hoc in form time and other sessions. Yes or no, do you think that that is the right approach? If not, what needs to change?

Q10. It is crystal clear how social media and smartphones are harming our young people, with cyber-bullying, addiction and exploitation rife. Governments elsewhere are taking bold action. I understand that Ministers are considering a two-hour limit, but that is per app rather than per day. I know the Prime Minister tak

Moving on to think about the workforce, Dr Casto-Kemp, your initial findings concluded that we are narrowly prepared and that CPD is much less embedded here than it is in other countries. Could you say a bit about how you have defined and assessed that situation? Where are the countries that England should be looking t

A more open question to all the panel. If there were one or two priority actions that Government could take to deal with the CPD deficit that you have talked about in our system and to achieve the objective of making mainstream schooling more inclusive, what would those priority actions be? You get one or two shots eac

For time’s sake, I have a quick couple of things on the notional £6,000 for SEND support costs. We have heard arguments about ringfencing it. What is your view and what would the impact of that be? Secondly, we have also heard arguments that it is insufficient. If you agree with that, what would be a sufficient amount?

Daniel, how does it work into secondary?

Do you generally find you are able to get the data you need after they have left you to be able to make a judgment on that?

10 Jun 2025Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 492)

I want to ask a question about transition and how you prepare your pupils with SEND for the transition. For Daniel, that will be into secondary. For Conrad and Nicole, that will be into post-16. Can you say a bit about the steps that your schools take with that endeavour?

Before I ask my question, for transparency, Daniel is the head of St Mary’s, which is a wonderful part of the family of schools in my Southampton Itchen constituency. There is no conflict of interest, however. Thinking about SEND support, we as a Committee have heard that what those who do not meet the threshold get ca

They were focused answers. Thank you.

Would your priorities be better enabled if the funding were either ringfenced or increased?
