This information can be found in table 7 of SFR 34/2007 ‘GCSE and equivalent results in England, 2006/07 (Provisional)’
Mr. Laws:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families which 20 English schools achieved the lowest GCSE success rates in the latest available year on the basis of (a) five A*-C at GCSE and (b) five A*-C at GCSE, including English and mathematics, and what the (i) local authority and (ii) school type was of each; and if he will make a statement. [172502]
Jim Knight:
The information required is in the Library, in the Schools and Colleges Achievement and Attainment Tables.
Data for the academic year 2006/07 are not yet published. They will be available from the Library in January 2008.
Head Teachers: Qualifications
Mr. Laws:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families whether the National Professional Qualification for Headship will be compulsory for all new head teachers, including those changing schools; and if he will make a statement. [169796]
Jim Knight:
The National Professional Qualification for Headship (NPQH) will be compulsory for all new heads in maintained schools or non-maintained special schools, both for primary and secondary head teachers, but not deputies. The Education (Headteachers’ Qualifications) (England) Regulations 2003, SI 3111 apply. This requires them to have, or be working towards, NPQH if they took up their first headship
10 Dec 2007 : Column 246W
post in a local authority maintained school or a special school after April 2004. It will be mandatory to hold the qualification (rather than be working towards it) from 1 April 2009. The NPQH prepares candidates for the role of headship and is a benchmark qualification underpinned by the National Standards for Headteachers.
Mathematics and Science: Teachers
Michael Gove:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families (1) how many mathematics graduates entered the teaching profession in each year since 1997; [171035]
(2) how many science graduates entered the teaching profession in each year since 1997. [171036]
Jim Knight:
Data relating to all mathematics and science graduates entering the teaching profession are not held centrally.
The following tables show the number of mainstream final year postgraduate Initial Teacher (ITT) Trainees who have a first degree or a related degree in the subject of their ITT training and are known to have entered a teaching post six months after gaining Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) for trainees in:

Notes:
1. Mainstream includes universities and other higher education institutions, SCITT and OU, but excludes employment based routes (EBR).
2. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10.
3. Data relating to the employment status of trainees through EBR are not currently collected.
4. The method of classifying degree subjects changed as a result of the introduction of the JACS coding structure in 2002/03. Data collected prior to this date under the HESA coding system cannot be directly compared using the direct match alone. Therefore figures which a direct match and a related match to the subject of ITT training have been presented.
5. Performance profiles data are collected at the end of a trainees first year, therefore 2006/07 data are collected in autumn 2007 and will be published in July 2008.
6. The table above only covers those who hold a first degree in the subject of their ITT training course, it does not cover those who have a first degree in mathematics or science but are entering an ITT course which is not mathematics or science.
7. There are additional postgraduate trainees on mathematics and science ITT courses where the first degree is unknown, so there are potentially more mathematics and science graduates entering teaching posts.
8. Figures include trainees who enter maintained schools, non-maintained schools and schools where the sector is unknown.
9. Trainees known not to be employed in teaching posts six months after gaining QTS include those who are seeking a teaching post and those who are not seeking a teaching post and those with an unknown destination.
10. The above figures only cover those who are known to enter a teaching post six months after gaining QTS; therefore those who enter teaching after this will not be covered. This will also not include graduates who enter teaching who are not Newly Qualified Teachers.
