HC Deb 20 January 1987 vol 108 c506W
70. Mr. Teddy Taylor

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what percentage of secondary schoolchildren attend grammar schools; and what percentage of A-level passes in grades A to C are secured by pupils from grammar schools.

Mr. Dunn

In January 1986, 3 per cent. of pupils in maintained secondary schools (excluding middle deemed secondary) in England were attending grammar schools. Grammar school leavers in the academic year 1984–85 held 14.8 per cent. of the A-level passes at grades A–C obtained by leavers from all maintained schools.
