Examination of Witnesses (Questions 160-163)
WEDNESDAY 27 NOVEMBER 2002
MR DAVID
TAYLOR, MISS
KATH CROSS,
MR TIM
KEY AND
MR MIKE
RALEIGH
160. Could you send us the graph showing the
comprehensive spread as well?
(Mr Key) Sure.
Chairman: I am worried that our next
group of witnesses will not have time, so could we move on?
Mr Simmonds
161. Is there any evidence to show that the
grammar schools that have specialist status have improved standards?
(Mr Raleigh) The numbers are so small—
162. 47.
(Mr Raleigh) Of the ones we have looked at in detail,
I think only four—
(Mr Taylor) Can we get back to you on that? We can
look at the 47.
(Mr Raleigh) I think they are all language colleges.
Chairman
163. Thank you. We have had a very good session.
There will be more questions but some of those will have to be
by telephone and e-mail.
(Mr Taylor) We have infinitely more data.
Chairman: Thank you very much.
