Question to the Department for Education:

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many schools in (1) 2019–20, (2) 2020–21, and (3) 2021–22 so far, have offered their students (a) 5, (b) 6, (c) 7, (d) 8, (e) 9, (f) 10, (g) 11, or (h) 12, GCSEs.

The department does not hold information on the subjects offered by individual schools. However, the department does publish the number of entries into GCSE subjects, which can be used as a guide to how many schools offer these qualifications.

The number and percentage of state-funded schools with pupil entries into at least 5 to 12 different GCSE subjects in academic years 2019/20 and 2020/21 is in the attached document. This does not necessarily mean that in the schools that entered pupils into at least 5 different GCSE subjects, that any one pupil was entered into all the different GCSEs.

The data is not available for the 2021/22 academic year because the department does not yet hold information on what exams were taken in this year.
