Tim Loughton:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many and what percentage of pupils with (a) a statement of special educational needs and (b) unstatemented special 26 Jan 2009 : Column 173W
educational needs achieved five A* to C grades at GCSE in each year since 1997, broken down by type of school. [249910]
Sarah McCarthy-Fry [holding answer 21 January 2009]: The requested information is only available from 2003 26 Jan 2009 : Column 174W
onwards. Changes to data collections and definitions over time mean that for 2003 to 2004 the figures cover pupils aged 15. For 2005 onwards, the figures cover pupils at the end of their key stage 4 studies. As the figures require details of pupil characteristics (i.e. SEN), they are only available for maintained schools.
