Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many and what percentage of pupils in Crosby reached the (a) mathematics and (b) English standard in each of the last seven years. [160408] Mr. Miliband: The results from the 2003 National Curriculum tests showed that 75 per cent. of 11 year olds in England reached Level 4 in English and 73 per cent. in mathematics. These results represent a significant improvement in standards--of 12 per cent. points in English and 11 per cent. points in mathematics--since 1997, reflecting the impact of the National Literacy and Numeracy Strategies on primary schools. We remain absolutely committed, through our new Primary Strategy, to supporting schools to achieve the ambitious targets we have set for standards of literacy and numeracy. The following table shows the number and percentage of pupils in Crosby who have achieved level 4 or above in the Key Stage 2 English and mathematics tests since 1997. The results for Crosby are well above the national average, with improvements since 1997 in English and 1998 in mathematics in line with the improvement in the national figures: _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 English--Number of pupils1 703 721 779 787 789 833 823 Mathematics--Number of 729 677 785 746 755 826 822 pupils1 English--Percentage of 77 80 83 85 84 85 86 pupils Mathematics--Percentage of 80 75 84 80 80 84 86 pupils _________________________________________________________________________________________________. 1 The number of eligible pupils for the Key Stage 2 tests varies slightly from year to year.

Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many vacancies there are in secondary schools for (a) physics, (b) chemistry, (c) mathematics and (d) IT teachers at (i) GCSE and (ii) A Level; and what recent steps he has taken to attract people into teaching science and technology-related subjects. [116617] Mr. Miliband: The information is not available in the form requested. National statistics published by my Department on 29 April 2003 included provisional numbers of full-time teacher vacancies by secondary subject at January 2003. These showed that there were 40 vacancies for teachers of physics; 40 for teachers of chemistry; 320 for teachers of mathematics; and 110 for teachers of information technology. The total number of vacancies for classroom teachers in maintained secondary schools in England fell by 410 between January 2002 and January 2003. In September 2000, the Government introduced £6,000 bursaries for postgraduate trainee teachers and £4,000 Golden Hellos for those going on to teach the priority subjects of mathematics, science, modern languages, technology and English. From September 2002, these incentives are being reinforced by a scheme to repay, over time, the student loans of new teachers of the priority subjects. These incentives have helped to ensure that recruitment to initial teacher training is higher than its 1999/2000 level by 29 per cent. in mathematics; 14 per cent. in science; and 41 per cent. in technology. Figures published by the Graduate Teacher Training Registry on 7 May 2003 show that applications for postgraduate teacher training courses for 2003/04 are currently running above last year's level by 36 per cent. in mathematics; by 14 per cent. in science; and by 44 per cent. in technology.
