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.

Mr. Willis: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many (a) consultation documents, (b) regulations, (c) revised and corrected regulations, (d) guidance notes, (e) requests for statistical information and (f) letters from Ministers have been sent to schools by his Department since May 1997. [158920] Jacqui Smith: In my reply to the hon. Member on 19 April 2001, Official Report, column 563W, I gave the number of mailings for the years 1996 to mid 2000. The tables cover mailings to primary schools and mailings to secondary schools in the whole of the year 2000 and in the year 2001 up to 2 May. Since September 2000, we have had a presumption against sending materials direct to schools. Instead most information is available on request.
