The letter is accompanied by a partial 'dry run' of DfE's plans for reporting on academy schools (pdf, 1MB) and a letter submitted to the Committee by Mr Slater (pdf, 93KB) ahead of the hearing last month. The Department has not yet published the Academies Annual Report for 2014-15.
A further public session is held in 2017 to check the Department's progress.
