HC Deb 22 April 1987 vol 114 c542W
Mr. Greenway

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish the percentage of pupils attaining grades A, B and C, respectively, at A-level in each of the years 1978 to 1986, inclusive, who were educated at independent schools.

Mr. Dunn

Information for the academic year 1985–86 is not yet available. In 1984–85, 36 per cent. of English school leavers with a grade A pass at GCE A-level, 28.6 per cent. with a grade B pass and 25.5 per cent. with a grade C left from independent schools. Data in this form are not readily available for earlier years.
