§ 18. Mrs. GillanTo ask the Secretary of State for Education how many schools improved their performance in the school performance tables last year over that of the previous year.
§ Mr. Robin SquireThe tables show that, on the most widely used measure of school performance—the percentage of 15-year-old pupils gaining five or more A to C grades at GCSE—62 per cent. of schools improved their performance in 1993 as compared with 1992. This is a most creditable performance by the schools concerned.
