Health Visitors: Children's Centres
Justine Greening: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many Sure Start (a) centres and (b) health visitors there are in each London borough; and how many such (i) centres and (ii) health visitors he expects there to be in each London borough in each of the next five years. [323776]
Dawn Primarolo: The following table details how many designated Sure Start children's centres there were in each London borough at the end of February 2010, and how many are planned to open or merge for the rest of 2010.
| Local authority | Designated children's centres at end of February 2010 | Net expected increase due to planned designations and mergers for rest of 2010 |
There are currently no further children's centres planned beyond 2010. Figures for the number of current health visitors working in children's centres in each London borough, and the numbers expected in the next five years, are not collected centrally.
Languages: GCSE
Mr. Graham Stuart:
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many and what percentage of pupils at the end of Key Stage Four in current National Challenge schools (a) took and (b)
achieved a grade A* to C at GCSE in a modern foreign language in each of the last five years. [314465]
Mr. Coaker: The number and percentage of pupils in the 2009 national challenge schools who entered and achieved a GCSE in modern foreign language is as follows:
| Number of pupils who entered MFL in national challenge schools | Percentage of pupils who entered MFL in national challenge schools | Number of pupils who achieved GCSE A*-C MFL in national challenge schools | Percentage of pupils who achieved A*-C MFL in national challenge schools | |
| Notes: 1. Qualifications included are full GCSEs, GCSE double awards and GCSEs in Applied subjects only. 2. The percentage of pupils achieving is based on all pupils in national challenge schools, not just those entered. 3. A pass rate based on those entered can be calculated by dividing the number of pupils who achieve a grade A* -C by the number of pupils entered for MFL. | ||||
Mathematics: GCE A-Level
Tim Loughton: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many white (a) boys and (b) girls eligible for free school meals achieved an A grade in A-level further mathematics in (i) 1980 and (ii) the most recent year for which figures are available. [310104]
Ms Diana R. Johnson [holding answer 11 January 2010]: Pupil level data relating to ethnicity and free school meal eligibility were not collected as far back as 1980.
In 2008, nine (42.9 per cent.) white British boys and three (50.0 per cent.) white British girls eligible for free school meals achieved an A grade in A-level further mathematics. The percentages indicated are of white British students eligible for free school meals of the appropriate gender who were entered for a GCE A-level in further maths.
The figures relate to 16 to 18-year-olds (age at start of academic year, i.e. 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.
Multiple Births
Mr. Cox: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what steps his Department is taking to assist multiple birth families; and if he will make a statement. [325184]
Ms Diana R. Johnson: High quality parenting and family support services in children's centres with appropriate outreach can help ensure that all parents-including families with twins and other multiple births-have access to the support they need to give them the best possible start in life. There are now over 3,000 designated children's centres many of which run Twins Groups providing support and activities for parents with twins enabling them to meet and share their experiences. The Schools Admissions Code includes guidance at paragraph 2.25 on siblings and twins, stating:
'the admissions authorities for primary schools should ensure in their oversubscription criteria that siblings (including twins, triplets or children from other multiple births) can attend the same primary school, as long as they comply with the Education (Infant Class Sizes) (England) Regulations 1998'.
