GCSE: Disadvantaged Michael Gove: To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many pupils eligible for free school meals did not sit GCSE examinations in five or more subjects in 2008. [286397] Mr. Coaker: Of those pupils eligible to receive free school meals in maintained schools in England, 8,704 pupils were not entered for GCSE examinations in five or more subjects in 2008. The figure includes all GCSE and equivalent qualifications. This figure has been derived from the National Pupil Database. Data on pupils’ eligibility for free school meals is collected in the Pupil-Level Annual School Census which only takes place in maintained schools.

[295365] Mr. Coaker: Funding for the national roll out of the Primary Capital Programme commenced in April 2009. It follows that very few of the projects to be funded wholly or partly through the programme will have actually started on site at this stage. I am pleased to confirm, however, that the strategic plan submitted through the former Bedfordshire Council’s Primary Strategy for Change has resulted in additional funding of £9.3 million being approved to support local delivery over the two year period 2009-11 duly confirmed. Decisions about the prioritisation of individual projects are rightly matters for local determination. The programme aims to support local authorities in renewing around half of all primary schools by 2023. More detailed information about the work planned can be obtained from the local authority.

Figures have been rounded to the nearest 10. Source: School Census and Edubase.

[282726] Mr. Coaker: The information requested is given in the following table: Percentage of persistent absence 1 in school Percentage >5 >10 >15 >20 2007 Maintained 2 schools 2,587 893 329 183 with fewer than 29.5 per cent. achieving five or more GCSEs at A*-C, or the equivalent, including English and maths 1,194 696 313 181 2008 Maintained 2 schools 2,305 634 263 143 with fewer than 29.5 per cent. achieving five or more GCSEs at A*-C, or the equivalent, including English and maths 1,011 519 254 142 1 Persistent absence is defined as missing more than 63 sessions. 2 Including city technology colleges, academies and maintained special schools—all schools in the table have at least one pupil at the end of Key Stage 4.
