Speeches by Paffey.

“I thank all Members, from across the Chamber, who have taken part in this debate. I will mention a few key strands that have been raised, just because they align with some of the things that I have asked for. My hon. Friend the Member for Salford (Rebecca Long Bailey) mentioned that the fire response, which is often th…”

“I hope the Minister has followed that. I do not expect everything to be on education, but there is a necessary cross-departmental organisation response that needs to happen. It goes beyond education and some of the recommendations reflect that. My hon. Friends the Members for West Ham and Beckton (James Asser) and for …”

“Just in case there is anything additional.”

“If the review were to take one thing from that to apply nationally to make the biggest impact change, what would you say that is?”

“Good morning. My question is also for Sean Harris. The Curriculum and Assessment Review includes a focus on employability. Could you talk a bit about how Tees Valley’s work with employers has helped to ensure that young people, school leavers, understand what the opportunities are for them locally and how they then att…”

“A number of you have already made the observation that media literacy and digital citizenship are split across a number of curriculum subjects and sometimes ad hoc in form time and other sessions. Yes or no, do you think that that is the right approach? If not, what needs to change?”

“So the expectation is there and you are saying that if they lack a locally designed syllabus they can essentially buy one in—”

“So what are the barriers? What problems are schools facing in delivering religious education where it is not happening?”

“Q10. It is crystal clear how social media and smartphones are harming our young people, with cyber-bullying, addiction and exploitation rife. Governments elsewhere are taking bold action. I understand that Ministers are considering a two-hour limit, but that is per app rather than per day. I know the Prime Minister tak…”

“Would your priorities be better enabled if the funding were either ringfenced or increased?”

“Moving on to think about the workforce, Dr Casto-Kemp, your initial findings concluded that we are narrowly prepared and that CPD is much less embedded here than it is in other countries. Could you say a bit about how you have defined and assessed that situation? Where are the countries that England should be looking t…”

“A more open question to all the panel. If there were one or two priority actions that Government could take to deal with the CPD deficit that you have talked about in our system and to achieve the objective of making mainstream schooling more inclusive, what would those priority actions be? You get one or two shots eac…”

“Before I ask my question, for transparency, Daniel is the head of St Mary’s, which is a wonderful part of the family of schools in my Southampton Itchen constituency. There is no conflict of interest, however. Thinking about SEND support, we as a Committee have heard that what those who do not meet the threshold get ca…”

“I want to ask a question about transition and how you prepare your pupils with SEND for the transition. For Daniel, that will be into secondary. For Conrad and Nicole, that will be into post-16. Can you say a bit about the steps that your schools take with that endeavour?”
