The schools secretary, Ed Balls, will today publish a white paper for education, setting out plans for schools to be issued with annual report cards to give parents a better idea of their academic and sporting endeavours as well as the standard of pupils' behaviour.
Parents will take part in annual surveys, which will feed into the document. It is based on a system used in New York to hold schools to account, which the government hopes will provide a more intelligent school accountability system than the current league tables, which are based on pupils' test results.
