HC Deb 05 February 1997 vol 289 c654W
Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland which schools in Northern Ireland have candidates for(a) A-levels and (b) international baccalaureate; and which of these schools are (i) controlled, (ii) maintained and (iii) other schools. [13928]

Mr. Ancram

Schools which have pupils enrolled in the final year of an A-level course in October 1995 are shown in the booklet "School Performance Information 1995–96" published by the Department of Education for Northern Ireland. I have arranged for a copy to be placed in the Library. The number of schools in each category is as follows:

  • Controlled: 37
  • Maintained: 23
  • Voluntary grammer: 52
  • Grant-maintained integrated: 1.

One grant-maintained integrated school had pupils enrolled, in October 1995, in the final year of a course leading to the international baccalaureate.
