The table illustrates the percentage of students who attended four secondary school types between 2000 until 2009.
Overall, it can be seen that community school has a significant increase in 2000 until 2009, while voluntary-controlled school experienced a sharp decrease.
Regarding voluntary-controlled school, we can see that there was a 22% fall, running 52% to 20% with most pupils attending this school in 2005. Similarly, grammar school as well witnessed a decline but with less drop, falling from 24% to 12% ( a half fall ). Turning to specialist school we can see a similar pattern here, where the number remained at 12% in 2000 before decreasing by 1% in 2005 and 2009 each, to finish the period with lowest figure shown on the chart.
Looking from community school, we can notice that the trand significantly reversed over the period. Accounted at 12% in 2000, the number than had a four-fold rise to 58% at the period end, making it the largest proportion shown on the table.
