WQ.199/2020
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR EDUCATION BY SENATOR K.L. MOORE
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 2nd JUNE 2020
Question
Will the Minister provide a table to show how many pupils in years 10 and 11 are studying fewer than 9 G.C.S.E.s, with the numbers broken down by school and indicating how many G.C.S.E.s are being studied in each case?
Answer
As entries have not yet been recorded for 2021, it has not been possible to provide figures for year 10 as schools were on half term in the week that this question was asked, and the availability of school staff is limited.. Figures for year 10 as well as confirmed figures for year 11 will be provided once schools reopen and the information can be collated and verified by the end of June.
The breakdown below for year 11 is based on entries recorded in schools' management information systems (SIMS). The numbers have not been checked with schools due to half-term. It is possible that the information has not yet been recorded for certain qualifications or for pupils that have recently joined the school.
The figures include all GCSE and equivalent qualifications (including BTECs). Where a pupil is entering multiple qualifications in the same subject, only one of these entries has been counted.
It should be noted that some students are entered for GCSE examinations prior to the summer of Year 11 and these figures do not include any GCSE's already achieved.
As of January 2020, there were 13 pupils in year 11 at Mont à l'Abbé School and 9 at La Sente, typically students at these schools take fewer than 9 GCSEs as appropriate to their individual requirements Due to the availability of term time only administrative staff during half term, it has not been possible to ascertain accurate figures, although these would likely be too small to provide due to the risk of breaching the privacy of individual students.
Number of GCSEs recorded in SIMS Yr 11 for summer 2020 examinations
School 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 Total 8 and under | 9 or more |
Grainville 5 | 0 | 5 | 5 | 0 | 5 | 25 | 45 | 40 130 | 5 |
Haute Vallée 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 10 | 20 | 35 | 20 90 | 10 |
Hautlieu 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 5 5 | 135 |
Jersey College for 0 Girls | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 10 | 30 40 | 60 |
Le Rocquier 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 10 | 40 | 55 125 | 15 |
Les Quennevais 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 15 | 60 | 50 130 | 0 |
Victoria College 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 0 | 100 |
Due to the small numbers, the Department have determined that to provide figures where they represent fewer than five pupils would likely breach the privacy of the individuals. Independent rounding has been used to round all numbers to the nearest 5. Therefore, 2 or fewer students, including 0, will show as 0 in this table.
