WQ.191/2018

WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION BY DEPUTY M. TADIER OF ST. BRELADE

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 9th OCTOBER 2018

Question

Will the Minister provide statistics for the last ten years for the number of pupils being entered for GCSE and A Level modern foreign languages, including a breakdown of figures by school and language?

Answer

Figures below cover GCSEs and A levels taken at States schools. Private schools are not included as the department does not hold sufficiently detailed results for all ten years.

Results are shown against the academic year where pupils finished KS4 and KS5 for GCSEs and A levels respectively. In some cases the exams may have been sat in earlier academic years.

Results have been extracted from schools' management information systems (CMIS up until 2016 and SIMS from 2017 onwards) and may differ slightly from those held by schools.

In addition to the results in Table 1, 2 and 3, some pupils take A level Portuguese as an evening class between years 12 and 14. Results are shown in Table 4 but are shown for the academic year of entry, not necessarily as a final Key Stage 5 (end of year 13) result. Data is only available since 2012/13.
