Education

Asked if the Prime minister welcomed the remarks by the Chancellor on Education this morning, the PMOS said of course the Prime Minister welcomed the Chancellor’s remarks. Asked about local authority control over Trust schools, the PMOS said that he would not get into the detail of the Bill before it was published. However the Prime Minister had set out his approach yesterday, which was that we should build on what the experience of the past few years had shown to work.

As Andrew Adonis had re-iterated in the Guardian today, City Academies, in the most deprived areas in the country, had shown a 73% improvement in results. That suggested that the City Academy approach of giving schools more flexibility, did work.

Asked how relations between the Prime Minister and the Deputy Prime Minister were given that the Prime minister had openly mocked him at his press conference yesterday, the PMOS said that their relationship was as good as ever. The Prime Minister had not mocked the Deputy Prime Minister. The Prime Minister had been taking on a particular line of argument rather than making any remarks about individuals.
