Department for Education written question – answered at on 6 February 2017.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how her Department assesses the performance of Regional School Commissioners in their handling of failing schools.
As civil servants, Regional Schools Commissioners (RSCs) are subject to the civil service performance management framework. Their performance is also monitored against a number of Key Performance Indicators, which cover their four core remits:
1. Taking decisions on the creation of new academies
2. Ensuring there are enough high-quality sponsors to meet local need
3. Monitoring academy performance and tackling underperforming academies and free schools
4. Providing advice and making recommendations in relation to free schools, university technical schools and studio schools.
The RSCs are accountable to the National Schools Commissioner, Sir David Carter. Alongside this, the RSCs provide regular updates to the Parliamentary under Secretary of State for Schools, Lord Nash, together and individually, on specific cases.
