Notes: 1. The financial information used in the answer to this PQ is taken from the Department's section 52 data collection. 2. 1999-2000 saw a change in data source when the data collection moved from the RO1 form collected by CLG (formerly ODPM) to the section 52 form (now section 251 of the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Act 2009) from the DCSF. 2002-03 saw a further break in the time series following the introduction of Consistent Financial Reporting (CFR) and the associated restructuring of the outturn tables. The change in sources is shown by the blank row. From 2002-03 school-based expenditure is taken from section 52 Outturn Table A line 51 net current expenditure (NCE). For 2001-02 and earlier years the expenditure is calculated as lines 1 to 12 less lines 29, 30, 35 and 37. This differs from the old Net Institutional Expenditure (NIE) calculation only in the treatment of meals and milk which is no longer excluded and no adjustments for balances are now made. This is taken from section 52 Outturn Table 3 for 1999-2000 to 2001-02 and from the RO1 form previously. 3. Expenditure was not distinguished between the pre-primary and primary sectors until the inception of section 52 for financial year 1999-2000. 4. School-based expenditure in LA-maintained nursery schools was not recorded in 2002-03 and comparable figures are not available for 2003-04 onwards. 5. Figures are rounded to the nearest £1,000. Cash terms figures as reported by local authorities as at 26 March 2010.
GCE A-level: Disadvantaged
Michael Gove:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many pupils receiving free school meals obtained three or more A-levels at A grade in the last year for which figures are available. [307326]
Mr. Coaker:
In 2008, 160 (3.5 per cent.) pupils eligible for free school meals achieved three or more A grades at A-level. The percentage is of all pupils eligible for free schools meals entered for at least one GCE/Applied GCE A-level/Double Award in 2008. This figure relates to 16 to 18-year-olds (age at start of academic year, 31 August 2007) in maintained schools only who were eligible for free school meals when they were academic age 16. The figures do not include the achievement of students in further education sector colleges previously eligible for free school meals.
GCSE
Mr. Laws:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what proportion of pupils in each local authority area achieved (a) five GCSEs or equivalent at grades A* to C and (b) five GCSEs or equivalent including English and mathematics at grades A* to C in each year since 1997; and if he will make a statement. [310261]
Mr. Coaker:
The information requested has been placed in the House Libraries.
Mr. Laws:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many and what proportion of pupils (a) eligible for free school meals and (b) not eligible for free school meals were entered for GCSEs in each subject in 2009. [312467]
Mr. Coaker:
The information is shown in the following table.
The number and percentage of pupils entered for GCSEs in each subject in 2009 by free school meal eligibility
Number of FSM pupils entered
Percentage of all FSM pupils at the end of key stage 4
Number of non-FSM pupils entered
