Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of trends in the proportion of students that obtain the English Baccalaureate in the last seven years.
The number and proportion of pupils achieving the English Baccalaureate between 2009/10 and 2016/17 can be obtained from the Department’s statistical first releases at this link: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-gcses-key-stage-4. The main tables for each year contain the required information (a time series is also available in the 2016/17 publication).
