Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will publish all information her Department has collated on attainment at Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 4 in all GCSE subjects for all pupils eligible for the pupil premium in maintained schools in the last four years.

The Department for Education publishes national, local authority and school level data in relation to disadvantaged pupils (defined as those who attract pupil premium funding) at key stage 2 and key stage 4 in the school performance tables, which are published online at:

www.education.gov.uk/schools/performance

Data covering the last three years is available and shows attainment and progression as well as a comparison with the performance of other pupils.

A GCSE subject level breakdown is published at school level for all pupils and is available from the school performance tables, published online at:

www.education.gov.uk/schools/performance/download_data.html

This information is not disaggregated further by pupil groups, including disadvantaged pupils, due to the small numbers that would result from such a breakdown. The majority of the data would need to be suppressed to ensure that no individuals could be identified.

The information requested could only be produced at disproportionate cost.
