Schools should be held to account for pupils’ attainment in at least one creative or vocational subject, Labour has said, in a document setting out its education “mission”.
The document, seen by Schools Week ahead of its official publication later today, sets out more details of the party’s planned curriculum and assessment review, which it said would look at accountability measures.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer this morning said his party would “update the ‘progress 8′ performance measure, and we will use it to get children studying a creative arts subject, or sport, until they are 16”.
In the document, the party said the “current overlapping accountability metrics” for primary and secondary schools consider “different outcomes and can include different pupils from within a school cohort”.
