These statistics reveal the declining numbers of "White-British"
pupils in our schools throughout England, organised by LEA within
English Region.

These figures also provide an insight into what the England of tomorrow
is going to look like in demographic terms. What is noticeable is the
falling percentages of "White-British" pupils within each younger
generation as illustrated in the differences in percentages between
primary and secondary schools within the same LEA.

A full reference to the source of this information is provided at the

Government no longer publishing ethnic breakdowns on schools!

For reasons that must be apparent to all, the Government halted the
publication of detailed school ethnicity breakdowns from last year, and
only generalised summaries now appear to be available to the public.

However it is known that the "White British and Irish" category at
primary schools has gone down from 79.7% in January 2004 to 79.2% in
January 2005 - that's a full 0.5% decline in one year!
