Mr. Robert AinsworthTo ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will list the authorities which maintain a full system of admitting rising-fives to primary school and those who admit no rising-fives at all; and what information he has on intermediate systems.
§ Mr. Robin SquireInformation is not available in the form requested. Most primary schools and local education authorities now have a policy of admitting children as rising-fives or earlier and in every authority in England in 1993 some children were admitted to primary schools on that basis.
