The table illustrates the percentage of attendance in four types of secondary schools across three years, 2000, 2005 and 2009. Overall, a negative trend is seen in Specialist, Grammar and Voluntary-controlled schools while Community schools recorded a positive trend.
Firstly, the percentage of students who attended Specialist schools didn't vary much during the course of 2000 to 2009. From 12% in 2000, it fell modestly to 11% in 2005, and, in 2009, 10% of the pupils appear to have attended them. Similar was the case with Grammar and Voluntary-controlled schools, with both seeing a fall in percentage of students studying in them. Grammar schools saw a decrease from 24% to 12%, while Voluntary-controlled schools saw a steep fall from 52% to 20% during the decade.
However, the proportion of students who attended Community schools witnessed a staggering increase during the 10 year period. The percentage of students grew from a mere 12% in 2000 to 32% in 2005, after which it saw another rise with the students’ attendance going up to 58% in 2009.
