Pre-1902 Schools

Mr. Farr
asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the total of pre-1902 schools in Leicestershire: what percentage this represents of the total of schools in Leicestershire; and how that figure compares with the percentage of pre-1902 schools nationally.

Dr. Boyson
Information about the ages of schools in Leicestershire is not readily available in the Department, and I suggest that my hon. Friend contacts the local education authority. The latest available national  information, derived from the 1975 school building survey, which refers to maintained schools in England and Wales, is as follows: -------------------
|                 |
-------------------
|                 |
-------------------
|Primary*—number  |
-------------------
|per cent         |
-------------------
|Secondary†—number|
-------------------
|per cent         |
