Northern Ireland written question – answered at on 29 June 2004.
To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what proportion of appeals by grammar schools for reduction in intake numbers were due to the number of lower graded pupils applying in each of the last three years.
There were no requests of this type. However, a small number of grammar schools requested approval under Article 14 (3) of the Education (Northern Ireland) Order 1997 to refuse admission where they were of the opinion that admission of the child to the school would be detrimental to the educational interests of the child. The number of these requests in each of the last three years is as follows and had no impact on the approved admissions number of the school:
School year | Number of requests |
---|---|
2004–05 | 4 |
2003–04 | 4 |
2002–03 | 1 |
