  • Sutton Trust and Education Endowment Foundation
    The Pupil Premium, Next Steps - Sutton Trust and Education Endowment Foundation Date 3 September 2015 Author Mark Upton LGiU/CSN Associate Summary The Sutton Trust and the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) recently hosted a summit meeting bringing together policy-makers, academics and the teaching profession to discuss the future of the pupil premium. It considered a new report Pupil Premium: Next Steps (July 2015) which made a series of recommendations including that the government should automatically reward schools that successfully and consistently improve results for their disadvantaged pupils and for introducing more effective systems to allow schools to identify pupils eligible for pupil premium funding. New polling commissioned for the summit revealed that 50% of primary school teachers and 44% of secondary teachers feel the premium is being used to continue activities that would not otherwise happen due to funding pressures in other areas of their budget. It also shows that the use of evidence in the classroom is growing: 64% of school leaders said they used research to decide how to spend their pupil premium, compared with 52% in 2012. This briefing will be of particular interest to cabinet portfolio and overview and scrutiny (elected) members and senior officers with responsibility for education and for children in care. Briefing in Full The Sutton Trust and the Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) recently hosted a summit meeting on the future of the pupil premium bringing together policy-makers, academics and the teaching profession to discuss how best to improve attainment for disadvantaged pupils, and closing the gap between them and their peers.

    New cabinet secretary Simon Case has a lot to prove and even more to do Blog post by Senior Associate Joe Armitage, 2 September 2020 Simon Case, who was appointed permanent secretary of 10 Downing Street this May, has been confirmed as the next cabinet secretary. At 41, he is the youngest person in the position since Lord Hankey, for whom the role was created in 1916, during the middle of the Great War. Like Hankey, Case will sit next to the prime minister at meetings of the Cabinet and assume ultimate responsibility for the management of the government’s bureaucracy at one of the most challenging moments in the country’s history. It’s widely known in Whitehall that he wasn’t the first pick for the job. The prime minister hoped Sharon White - the former CEO of OFCOM and current chairwoman of John Lewis - would agree to re-enter government and take on the role instead. Chris Wormald, permanent secretary of the Department for Health and Social Care, is understood to have been considered second favourite. Key Number 10 political staff have placed a great emphasis on recruiting people with a scientific background into key roles, labelling those with arts degrees and a private education as “public school bluffers.” However, like most of their other key appointments to date, Case’s background is not in keeping with this given that he was independently educated before studying History at Cambridge. Unlike most cabinet secretaries he has not served at either the Treasury or the Foreign Office, he also has no experience of leading a significant government delivery department as permanent secretary.

  • The Performance of the Department for Education 2013-14
    Departmental Overview The performance of the Department for Education 2013-14 DECEMBER 2014 Our vision is to help the nation spend wisely. Our public audit perspective helps Parliament hold government to account and improve public services. The National Audit Office scrutinises public spending for Parliament and is independent of government. The Comptroller and Auditor General (C&AG), Sir Amyas Morse KCB, is an Officer of the House of Commons and leads the NAO, which employs some 820 employees. The C&AG certifies the accounts of all government departments and many other public sector bodies. He has statutory authority to examine and report to Parliament on whether departments and the bodies they fund have used their resources efficiently, effectively, and with economy. Our studies evaluate the value for money of public spending, nationally and locally. Our recommendations and reports on good practice help government improve public services, and our work led to audited savings of £1.1 billion in 2013. Contents Introduction Aim and scope of this briefing 4 Part One About the Department 5 Part Two Developments in this Parliament 13 Part Three Recent NAO findings on the Department 28 Appendix One The Department’s sponsored bodies at 1 April 2014 49 Appendix Two Results of the Civil Service People Survey 2013 50 Appendix Three Publications by the NAO on the Department since April 2013 52 Appendix Four Cross-government reports of relevance to the Department since September 2013 53 Endnotes 54 Links to external websites were valid at the time of publication of this report.
