Question:
To ask the Minister of Education, pursuant to the answer to AQW 1845/08, to detail for each primary and preparatory school (i) the number and percentage of P7 pupils sitting the Transfer Test; and (ii) the percentage of pupils attending the school who are in receipt of free school meals, for the academic year 2007/2008.

Answer:

No detailed data regarding the current Transfer Test are available until the process has been completed and the results issued to the Education and Library Boards. These data will be available in February 2008 and will be provided to you as soon as they become available for release.

Free school meal entitlement data for each primary and preparatory school are currently available for the 2007/08 academic year. These data have not been provided but as soon as the Transfer Test data become available, free school meal entitlement data will also be provided.
