Mr. Chaytor

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will list, for each English local education authority, how many(a) applications have been received for specialist school status and (b) which schools are designated as specialist schools, with the date of designation, the specialism, the percentage of children eligible for free school meals, the percentage of children with five or more GCSE grades A-C, the status of the school, the admissions policy of the school and if the school is designated as a Beacon School.

Ms Estelle Morris

The information on(a) the number of specialist school applications received since 1994 is not readily available and could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. The information requested in section (b) with the exception of data on Free School Meals is contained in tables, copies of which have been placed in the Library. Information on the percentage of children known to be eligible for Free School Meals in individual schools is regarded as confidential and not published centrally by the Department.
