HC Deb 13 March 2003 vol 401 c403W 403W

§ Mr. Damian Green
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the GCSE results were of the pupils who did not achieve level 4 at Key Stage 2 in 1997. [102290]

§ Mr. Miliband
Of those pupils who attempted GCSEs in 2002 but had not achieved level 4 or above at Key Stage 2 in 1997, 12 per cent. achieved five or more GCSE grades A^*-C and 83 per cent. achieved five or more GCSE grades A^*-G.
The answer is based only on pupils who attempted GCSEs as information on the percentage of pupils from KS2 who did not attempt GCSEs is not collected centrally.
