Clause 5 - School improvement partners
Education and Inspections Bill
3:30 pm

Sarah Teather (Shadow Secretary of State for Education and Skills, Education & Skills; Brent East, Liberal Democrat)
Our intention was to widen it to all schools, precisely to get the Government to explain why the provision should be applicable only to certain schools. As I said to begin with, the amendment is a probing amendment intended to establish the Government’s thinking about school improvement partners. The hon. Gentleman has not explained why they should not be applicable to other schools.
