HC Deb 14 July 1997 vol 298 cc36-41W
Mr. Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will calculate the correlation between the number of statemented children in each secondary school and examination success by the schools in North East Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire, Richmond (Surrey), the East Riding, Calderdale, Barnsley and Sheffield. [7666]

Ms Estelle Morris

Available data for maintained secondary schools in these local education authority (LEA) areas, as published in performance tables in November 1996, are shown in the following table. Figures for numbers of 15-year-old pupils and for the percentages of such pupils achieving five or more GCSE grades A*-C relate to examinations in academic year 1995–96. Figures for numbers of pupils on roll and numbers with statements are taken from the Annual Schools Census in January 1996, with schools listed by the LEA in whose area they were located as at November 1996. Information on numbers of statements by age of pupil is not collected centrally, so it is not possible to correlate between numbers of 15-year-olds with statements and percentages of this age group achieving examination successes.

Mr. Mitchell

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what is the number per thousand pupils of statemented children in North East Lincolnshire, Lincolnshire, North Yorkshire, Richmond (Surrey), the East Riding, Calderdale, Barnsley and Sheffield. [7701]

Ms Morris

Schools' returns for January 1996, the latest available, were aggregated for local education authorities existing at that time. North East Lincolnshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire became unitary authorities in April 1996 so, other than for schools appearing in performance tables, information on numbers of statements aggregated for these authorities is not readily available. Returns from schools in the other local education authorities are summarised in the following table.

Local education authority Total pupils1 Pupils with statements1 Number of pupils with statements per statements per thousand pupils
Lincolnshire 97,785 3,180 32.5
North Yorkshire2 117,701 2,787 23.7
Richmond upon Thames 26,778 482 18.0
Calderdale 35,726 821 23.0
Barnsley 35,313 1,054 29.8
Sheffield 77,529 1,848 23.8
1 Includes pupils in nursery, primary, middle, secondary, independent and special schools and pupil referral units within the local education authority area.
2 Includes schools which transferred to the area of City of York local education authority from April 1996.
