To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will specify academy projects, for which statements of intent or expressions of interest have been submitted since May 2010, in respect of secondary schools securing five or more GCSE grades at A* to C including English and Maths for fewer than 40 per cent of their pupils in 2010; and whether they will specify the sponsor and the status of those projects.

The Government are publishing shortly on the Department for Education's website the list of all sponsored academy projects in development. In addition to covering projects that replace predecessor schools with GCSE results below 40 per cent 5 A* to C, including English and Maths, the list will also include projects in relation to primary schools and projects which constitute new provision where there is no predecessor school. The list will cover projects with an approved statement of intent or which are at a more advanced stage of development, and will include both the sponsor of each project and the stage of development that the project has reached. In addition, the department publishes on its website a copy of the expression of interest and the funding agreement for each project once they are approved. The department will keep the list updated on a monthly basis.
