Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 1:50 pm on 8 February 2017.
Thank you, Presiding Officer. Cabinet Secretary, you recently published the categorisation of schools in Wales. Classification of the schools will only be of use if that information is used promptly and effectively to help schools improve; otherwise, children will continue to languish in schools that are not performing to standard. Are you prepared to give a personal assurance to the Assembly and to parents of children in schools that are in need of support, in particular those in the red category, that you will take personal responsibility for supporting and assisting those schools to green status?
