Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Martin Linton (Labour). It was answered by Lord Coaker (Labour) on Monday, 25 January 2010 on behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families.


GCSE Grades

Question
Which five schools have shown the greatest increase in numbers of passes of GCSE grades A* to C since 1997.
Answer

We are unable to make a statistically valid comparison of results for all schools individually between 1997 and 2009. However, 45.1 per cent. of pupils achieved five or more good grades—A* to C— in 1997 and that rose to 70 per cent. in 2009.
