Primary Schools (Language Tuition)

Mr. Gibb: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many primary schools offered language learning opportunities in 2003/04; and in which languages. [13269]

Jacqui Smith: This information is not part of the Department's statutory annual data collection. However, research carried out for the DfES in 2002/03

showed that 44 per cent. of schools teaching pupils aged 7–11 offered some form of language learning, 35 per cent. of which took place in curriculum time. This is up from 21 per cent. of schools offering some form of language learning in 2000, and we expect that number will have increased again significantly last year. Our research showed that French is the language most commonly taught, followed by Spanish, German and Italian. 28 LEAs reported other languages being taught. We know from our Key Stage 2 language pathfinders that a wide range of languages are now being taught at primary schools, including community and other world languages.

School Admissions

Mr. Maude: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many appeals were made to the Independent School Admissions Panel for (a) primary and junior schools and (b) secondary schools for each English county in each of the last eight years. [11859]

Jacqui Smith: The information requested is shown in the following table.
