Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 November 2025

Debate

Curriculum and Assessment Review

Contribution

My Lords, Progress 8 has been proved to have been a success, and, as my noble friend pointed out, the Francis review is clear that its recommendation is not to make any changes “to the structure of Progress 8 or the composition of the ‘buckets’”, yet Ministers have now decided to consult on changes to the measure anyway. So, will keeping the current Progress 8 measure be included as one option within this consultation, or have the Government simply decided to ignore the evidence-based recommendation of their own review?
