Faith Schools: Health Services

Mr. Amess: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families which faith-based schools were included in the national mapping of on-site sexual health services in education settings produced by the Sex Education Forum; and if he will make a statement. [222357]

Beverley Hughes: A questionnaire was issued to teenage pregnancy co-ordinators in each top-tier local authority in England, asking them to identify which secondary schools in their area provided on-site health services, which included advice on contraception and sexual health. Responses were received from 70 per cent. of local authorities. Within the local authorities that responded, 627 schools (29 per cent. of the sample) had on-site services. In addition, on-site services were being provided in 84 pupil referral units. Of the 627 schools providing on-site services, 17 were faith-based schools.

The Government support the provision of on-site services where schools have identified a need and where the scope of the service has been agreed by the school's Governing Body, following consultation with parents. On-site services provide young people with swift and easy access to health advice that survey evidence suggests they are reluctant to access through GPs or clinics.

GCE A-level

Michael Gove: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many pupils sat A levels in (a) media studies, (b) psychology, (c) law, (d) mathematics, (e) physics and (f) history in each year since 1997, broken down by type of school or college. [221759]

Jim Knight: The information required for the last three years has been placed in the House of Commons Library. Figures for earlier years can be provided only at disproportionate cost.
