The information requested is in the following table. The first academy opened in September 2002 with first results published for 2003.
Number of pupils achieving 5 or more GCSEs at grades A*-C inc. English and Maths in Academies Percentage of pupils achieving 5 or more GCSEs at grades A*-C inc. English and maths academies 2003 58 10.8 2004 221 11.9 2005 290 13.9 2006 1,044 29.3 2007 1,819 28.4 2008 3,790 31.7 2009 6,729 33.8
Qualifications included are full GCSEs, GCSE double awards and applied GCSEs. Equivalents are excluded.
Figures for 2003 and 2004 are based on pupils aged 15. All other figures are based on pupils at the end of Key Stage 4.
The proportion of pupils at the end Key Stage 4 that did not achieve five or more GCSEs at grade A*-C or the equivalent in 2009 was:
(a) 47.0 per cent. in maintained schools located in the Leeds, West constituency.
(b) 32.0 per cent. in schools maintained by West Yorkshire local authorities of Leeds Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield.
(c) 30.0 per cent. in all schools in England.
This answer is derived from the revised Achievement and Attainment tables.
[holding answer 6 January 2010]: Figures for 2005 to 2009 are presented in the tables and are derived from the National Pupil Database (NPD). The way subject level information has been captured on the NPD means that figures prior to 2005 are not consistent with later years and have therefore not been provided in this answer.
Figures are based on pupils at the end of Key Stage 4.
