Pupils: Migration

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families what estimate he has made of the level of pupil mobility in (a) primary and (b) secondary schools in each local education authority in 2007-08.

Answer: [holding answer 20 July 2009]: The DCSF does not publish any estimates of pupil mobility. Estimates of pupil mobility in primary and secondary schools are provided here using the mobility indicators that form part of the DCSF's Contextual Value Added (CVA) models. These identify pupils as mobile if they join a school at non standard times. Only pupils at the end of Key Stage 2 and the end of Key Stage 4 in 2007/08 are included in the figures. A copy of these tables has been placed in the Libraries.
