Model Answer

The table illustrates the percentage of school children attending four different types of
secondary school from 2000 to 2009. It is evident that whereas the community
schools experienced a marked increase in the proportion of those attending their
institutions over the period, the others saw a corresponding decline.

To begin, the percentage of pupils in voluntary-controlled schools fell from just over
half to only 20% or one fifth from 2000 to 2009. Similarly, the relative number of
children in grammar schools - just under one quarter - dropped by half in the same
period. As for the specialist schools, the relatively small percentage of pupils
attending this type of school (12%) also fell, although not significantly.

However, while the other three types of school declined in importance, the opposite
was true in the case of community schools. In fact, whereas only a small minority of
12% were educated in these schools in 2000, this figure increased to well over half of
all pupils during the following nine years.
