[4661] Mr. Ivan Lewis: As the fees are set by the individual awarding bodies and can vary between subjects, it is not possible to provide precise figures.

Mrs. May: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if he will set out the percentage of pupils gaining five GCSEs at grades A* to C for each of the schools in an Excellence in Cities area for (a) 1999 and (b) 2000. [158849] Ms Estelle Morris: [holding answer 26 April 2001]: Every mainstream secondary school in the authorities listed benefits or will benefit from the Excellence in Cities programme. In addition, smaller groups of school-- including secondary schools--will benefit from inclusion within the new excellence clusters. Schools in the first 25 phase 1 EiC authorities came on stream from September 1999 (academic year 1999-2000), those in the 23 phase 2 authorities from September 2000 (academic year 2000-01), and schools in the 11 phase 3 authorities (including North Sefton) and 11 excellence clusters will begin implementing the programme from September 2001 (academic year 2001-02). I refer the hon. Member to the secondary school performance tables published by my Department for information on individual school achievements. Overall, the proportion of pupils in EiC phase 1 partnerships achieving five or more GCSE/GNVQ grades A*-C rose by 2.3 percentage points between 1999 and 2000, compared with an average increase of 1.3 percentage points for all other maintained schools in England.
