The table provides the share of
students
attending four different types of secondary school (
Specialist
,
Grammar
, Voluntary-controlled and
Community
) between the
period
of 2000 and 2009. In general, we can see that till 2005 most
students
attended voluntary-controlled
schools
and
specialist
schools
are least attended by them. The
specialist
,
grammar
and voluntary-controlled
schools
show a gradual decline and
on the other hand
community
schools
show an increase in strength over the
period
of 2000-2009. From 2000 to 2005, voluntary-controlled
schools
are the most popular among
students
. There is a shift from voluntary-controlled
schools
to
community
schools
from 2005 to 2009 as more than 50% of
students
attend
community
college in 2009
whereas
in 2000 it was voluntary-controlled
schools
.
Specialist
schools
have been the least favourite as it has the least amount of pupils for the whole
period
of time.
Also
,
grammar
schools
which in 2000 had about a quarter share of pupils halved in 2009.
Moreover
, there is a general trend of decline in
specialist
,
grammar
and voluntary-controlled
schools
where voluntary
schools
dropped more than half of their population and
grammar
school lost exactly half. The
specialist
schools
only had a minor decline compared to the rest of the two.
On the contrary
,
community
schools
grew almost four times from a meagre 12% to 58% over the
