The table shows the Proportions of Pupils Attending Four Secondary School Types Between Between 2000 and 2009.

The table illustrates the percentage of educational place children attending four different types of secondary schools from 2000 to 2009.It is evident that

whereas

the community centre of learning 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 academies fell from just over half to only 20% or one-fifth from 2000 to 2009.

Similarly

, the relative number of children in grammar college - just under one quarter - dropped by half in the same period. As for the specialist alma mater, the relatively small percentage of pupils attending

this

type of school (12%)

also

fell,

although

not significantly.

However

,

while

the other three types of phrontistery declined in importance, the opposite was true in the case of community educational institutions. 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.
