Analysis of progression rates for young people in England by free school meal receipt and school type
BIS publication URN 11/1082 (an official statistics release)
Introduction
This Official Statistics Release provides the latest information on the estimated number of 15-year-olds in receipt of Free School Meals (FSM) who progress to Higher Education (HE) by age 19 by 2008/09. The information is presented at national and local authority level. Further data is also provided on the number of young people taking A-levels or equivalent qualifications who progress to the most selective institutions by school type.
This release replaces the previous Widening Participation release Full-time Young Participation by Socio-Economic Class (FYPSEC):2010 update published in July 2010. In this release, receipt of FSM is used as the measure of disadvantage and replaces the previous measure based on socio-economic classification. The context for these changes is reflected in the Background.
The FSM and school type/selective institution measures are intended to contribute to the understanding of widening participation issues as part of a range of measures, which have different strengths and limitations. Annex D provides information on some of the other measures available. We aim to further develop the measures contained in this publication over time.
