Ruth Perry's death was a tragic event that left a significant impact on her family, community, and school. Throughout this year, I have been honoured to collaborate closely with Ruth's sister Julia and her friends Lisa and Edmund to implement critical changes in inspection practices alongside Ofsted which ensure headteachers can share their inspection results including safeguarding outcomes. These new policies mean that if a school is judged 'inadequate' due to poor safeguarding but other judgments are 'good', it will undergo reinspection within three months. This was successfully executed at Caversham Primary School this summer, resulting in its reclassification as 'good'. Additionally, we have doubled the support for the wellbeing of our school leaders.

Our school rebuilding programme is transforming 500 schools across England, and I am pleased that Tipton St John Primary School is one of them. The school is located in a flood-prone area and was affected by the recent storms. We are actively working with the diocese of Exeter and Devon local authority to identify suitable sites for the new school. I agree to meet my hon. Friend very soon.

Attendance for me is my top priority. I regularly chair the attendance action alliance group and we are determined to ensure that children attend school because it benefits their education greatly. We collaborate with GPs and other medical professionals to promote awareness of the positive impact of school on child well-being, and support is available in schools. These efforts have begun to show results with 380,000 fewer children missing school but attendance remains a key issue.

More items are proposed for the King's Speech than can be accommodated within legislative time; therefore, not all items make it into the speech. It remains my priority and I aim to legislate on this matter very soon.

We are providing training grants for all state schools to train senior mental health leads and already 14,400 have claimed a grant. Additionally, we collaborate with the Department of Health and Social Care to extend mental health support teams to cover at least half of pupils by spring 2025.

I will write to the hon. Lady about that.

There are currently 701 free schools open and a further 140-plus in the pipeline. There is an ongoing round of applications for special and alternative provision free schools, but future capital funding will be determined through spending reviews.

We are conducting a review of RSHE guidance as these topics are important and sensitive. The results will be made public soon.

The temporary classrooms at St Andrew's Junior School were delivered by Essex County Council, which I thank once again for its exemplary leadership managing RAAC in Essex. The Department is working closely with all parties to ensure that any concerns are addressed quickly. Work is ongoing today to fix a disabled access door. I can confirm that we will remove RAAC from all schools and colleges. Settings will be offered either grant funding or rebuilding projects. We are assessing the right solution for each case and we will update the House shortly.

It sounds like there are important details to get to grips with, so I am happy to meet the hon. Gentleman.

My hon. Friend is a champion for UTCs and technical education. I am delighted that the Secretary of State recently approved two more UTCs. A couple of weeks ago I visited the brilliant Harlow BMAT STEM Academy, which is a UTC, and UTC Portsmouth. We will respond shortly to Lord Baker's request for a UTC sleeve pilot, as she mentioned.

We are, as the hon. Lady will know, committed to ensure that reasonable costs for temporary accommodation and so on are covered in the immediate term and beyond, to make sure that capital costs are covered for either refurbishment or, in some cases, rebuild. There will be further detail to come before long.

Yes. We have to compare and contrast that with Wales, which has the lowest educational standards in the UK. The simple answer to why that is, is that it is run by Labour. Under Labour, our education standards plummeted from eighth to 27th in maths, from seventh to 25th in reading and from fourth to 16th in science. Thanks to the hard work of our teachers and pupils, and the reforms under this Conservative Government, we have rocketed back up the tables to 11th for maths and 13th for reading and science. Every time Labour gets power, education standards fall. The Conservatives are the only ones taking the long-term decisions to deliver a better education for our children.

Schools should be reasonable in what they do and that is what our guidance sets out.

I join my hon. Friend in thanking and paying tribute to all the staff, children and families at Bramhall High Street. She is a great advocate for them. Schools and colleges will be offered either capital grants to fund refurbishment or permanently remove RAAC, or rebuilding projects where they are needed.

We have a lot of people working on this and rightly so, including making sure that all the surveys get done. We have also committed to being transparent, which is why we publish regular updates to the list. We continue to work at pace to try to resolve the problems as quickly as possible for the good of the children.

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. It is a dreadful policy and it will have exactly the opposite impact. It will probably actually cost money and mean children moving schools, and all because the Labour party just plays the politics of envy.

I thank the hon. Gentleman for his question, and for arranging the initial meetings with Julia Waters—Ruth's sister, who I know is his constituent—and attending the first few. I will be working very closely with the new chief inspector of schools when he starts three weeks today to see what more we can do, but we must remember that Ofsted plays an important role in keeping children safe and standards high.
