HC Deb 02 March 1993 vol 220 c73W
Mr. Byers

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is the total number of maintained(a) primary and (b) secondary schools; in each case how many are (i) voluntary aided, (ii) voluntary controlled and (iii) grant-maintained; and how many in each category are Anglican, Roman Catholic, other denominational and non-denominational.

Sir Wyn Roberts

Information on the number, type and denomination of schools in Wales as at January 1992 is available from the publication "Statistics of Training and Education in Wales: Schools 1993", tables 3.06 and 4.05 for primary and secondary respectively. There were two grant-maintained secondary schools in January 1992, one was classified as voluntary Roman Catholic and the other was classified as county secondary. A further two schools have since become grant maintained, both of which were previously county secondary schools.
