Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what estimate his Department has made of the number of children in (a) Coventry, (b) the West Midlands and (c) England (i) eligible and (ii) not eligible for free school meals who achieved five or more GCSEs at grades 4 to 9 in each of the last three years.

The table attached shows the number and percentage of pupils, by free school meals status, at the end of Key Stage 4 achieving 5 or more GCSEs (including English and mathematics) at grades 4 to 9 (or equivalent). The figures are for Coventry, West Midlands and England and cover the latest three academic years (2016/17 – 2018/19).
