Departmental Secondments
Dr. Iddon:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many people from science and technology backgrounds have been seconded into the civil service in her Department in each of the last three years. [48409]
Maria Eagle:
Secondees to DfES are deployed across all directorates within the Department to meet business needs. There is no current requirement for the Department to collect such data and this information could be obtained only at disproportionate cost.
Education Provision (Hendon)
Mr. Dismore:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will make a statement on levels of school (a) attendance and (b) exclusions in Hendon. [56755]
Jacqui Smith:
In Hendon constituency the rates of authorised absence (percentage of half days missed in 2004/05) were 5.3 per cent. in maintained primary schools and 5.6 per cent. in maintained secondary schools. The comparative rates for unauthorised absence were 0.9 per cent. in primary schools and 1.1 per cent. in secondary schools. The primary school rates for both authorised and unauthorised absence are above the local authority (Barnet) and National averages. Hendon secondary schools were below the National average for authorised and unauthorised absence, but were above the local authority average for unauthorised absence.
In Hendon constituency in 2003/04 (the most recent year for which figures are available) there were no permanent exclusions from maintained primary or special schools, and nine permanent exclusions from maintained secondary schools (0.11 per cent. of the total number of pupils on the school roll in January 2004). Data are given in the table for exclusions from Hendon secondary schools from 1999/2000 to 2003/04. Over the last three years the rates of permanent exclusions in schools in Hendon have been half of those for Barnet LA and for England, however the figures for Hendon are quite small and can fluctuate over the years.
