Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many pupils there were in (a) year 11 and (b) year 13 in (i) state and (ii) independent schools in each English region in each year since 2003.
The number of pupils by year group is available in the National statistics publication ‘Schools, pupils and their characteristics’ available at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-school-and-pupil-numbers.
This includes the number of pupils by national curriculum year group for state-funded schools. National curriculum year group is not collected for independent schools, however the same publication contains the number of pupils by age at school, local authority, region and national level.
