Speeches by Gosling.

“The Department for Education and Ofsted have announced a similar schools model for attainment that would compare schools with 50 similar mainstream schools. How will your inspections use this model in conjunction with other data?”

“Analysis by the NAHT highlighted that schools with a higher share of SEND often receive lower Ofsted grades for attendance and behaviour. Your recent analysis on the achievement, attainment data and schools in challenging circumstances, did not use data on SEND. How does the grading of schools with more SEND pupils com…”

“Three in 10 schools inspected under the new framework had grades for achievement below expected standard. What steps are being taken to support those to improve their offer?”

“Schools with pupils who have an above-average share of free school meals often have lower achievement grades than other schools. How does the inspection recognise the value added by schools that work with less advantaged pupils?”

“The requirement around achievement, attendance and behaviour being broadly in line with the national average was criticised as, “An impossible demand” by the General Secretary of the NAHT. Is asking all schools and colleges to meet a national average, by the very definition of the word “average”, statistically impossib…”

“The wellbeing impact assessment recommended that you monitor and quickly respond to unintended consequences arising from the new framework. What consequences have you found and what has been done in response?”

“How are you assessing the impact of the new framework on school leaders?”

“The wellbeing impacts assessment that you commissioned into the new inspection framework found that it does not reduce the pressure on leaders to achieve a desirable outcome. We obviously understand that all leaders want the best outcomes for their schools, but what steps have you taken to ensure that the framework doe…”

“It is a pleasure to serve under your chairship, Mr Dowd. I thank my hon. Friend the Member for Halesowen (Alex Ballinger) for securing this very important debate. This weekend, Nuneaton celebrated the 800th anniversary of its royal market charter, first awarded by King Henry III. It was an absolutely fantastic day, wit…”

“Considering the strength of feeling and the level of criminality that we have heard about, does my hon. Friend not find it shocking that, on top of long-term cuts of £100,000 in its medium-term forecasts, Warwickshire county council has just frozen £55,000 that was allocated to tackling rogue traders?”

“Mr Speaker, I wish you a happy Warwickshire day and a happy St George’s day. Nuneaton residents are concerned about the performance of Capita since it took over the civil service pensions. I know these concerns are shared across the House, as we have just heard some of the horror stories coming into many inboxes. Those…”

“Happy Warwickshire day, and happy St George’s day, Madam Deputy Speaker. This week also marks an event that is incredibly important to me: Allergy Awareness Week. On Monday I was proud to launch the national allergy strategy with more than 150 clinicians, researchers, patients, families and charities. With more than 21…”

“5. What steps he is taking to help increase insourcing within the public sector.”

“I thank the Secretary of State for her commitment to supporting supported interns and for the announcement of £9 million for non-EHCP—education, health and care plan—pilots. Almost 80% of our brilliant supported interns in Nuneaton go on into paid employment, well above the national average of 5% of young people with l…”

“5. What assessment she has made of the effectiveness of supported internships.”

“Q7. Under this Government, George Eliot hospital in my constituency is thriving. It is rapidly soaring up league tables, ending corridor care and now welcoming the expansion of our community diagnostic centre with a new breast cancer diagnosis unit. Yet the same staff delivering this lifesaving care for Nuneaton are su…”

“I thank the hon. Member for Tewkesbury (Cameron Thomas) for securing this debate and the Backbench Business Committee for allowing it. I would also like to recognise the work of my hon. Friend the Member for Aldershot (Alex Baker). I know that hon. Friend would be here today, were it not for other duties. As the MP for…”

“Residents in Vernons Mews in Nuneaton, managed by Marston management company, are facing homelessness for the third time following a prohibition order that was first issued in August 2025 by Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service. For months, I have been working cross-agency to tackle myriad issues, yet a temporary fire …”

“Nuneaton serves as a valuable interchange for services to the economic centres of Coventry, Birmingham and Leicester, as well as for connections to Peterborough, Cambridge and Stansted airport. Strengthening those regional links is estimated to be worth about £500 million across the region. Does my hon. Friend agree th…”

“I rise to speak to Lords amendment 105. As the chair of the all-party parliamentary group on allergy, a lifelong allergy sufferer, a former teacher and the parent of a lifelong allergy sufferer, I am painfully aware of the inconsistencies of allergy care, and the anxiety and harm that it causes. Baroness Morgan of Cote…”
