§ Mr. ByersI refer my hon. Friend to the Secondary School Performance Tables for the years 1994–1997 and the Primary School (Key Stage 2) Performance Tables for the years 1996 and 1997. The tables show the total number of pupils of all ages on each school's register, together with the number of pupils aged 16 and over in secondary schools (which gives an indication of the size of a school's sixth form) for schools in England. Copies of the tables are available in the Library.
Information for schools other than those in the performance tables is not published centrally.
There were 40,749; 41,145; 41,055; 40,936 pupils of all ages at local education authority maintained schools in Newcastle Upon Tyne in January 1994 to January 1997 respectively.
