Headteachers

Bob Spink: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what the (a) highest and (b) average gross salary for headteachers is in a (i) secondary and (ii) primary school in Castle Point. [77631]

Jim Knight: The information requested is not available.

Overseas Students

Mr. Wills: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many overseas students were studying at English Universities in each of the last five years, broken down by (a) subject and (b) country of origin. [77335]

Bill Rammell: The available information has been placed in the House Libraries. The data in the tables has been taken from the Higher Education Statistics Agency (HESA) student record where the method of recording subject of study was revised in 2002/03, hence figures for 2002/03 onwards are not comparable to earlier years.

Pupil Exclusions

Graham Stringer: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many pupils have been reinstated into schools by the independent appeals panel after being permanently excluded for violent conduct in each of the last three years. [78145]

Jim Knight: The information requested is not held centrally. The appeals data provided to the Department do not include the reason for the exclusion. The latest available information on appeals against permanent exclusion from school for any reason is given in the table.
