The illustration depicts the percentage of students who attended secondary schools of four different kinds from 2000 to 2009.
Overall, the two schools with the most attendees were voluntary-controlled and community schools. Voluntary-controlled and grammar schools had the most significant change, whilst the other two didn’t
In 2000 community schools and voluntary schools had 12% and 52% of the total students, after 5 years these numbers changed to 32% and 38%, and in 2009 they were at 58% and 20% which was a massive change from their starting point.
However, specialist and grammar schools only faced a fraction of this change. They started at 12% and 24%, and half a decade later they only dropped 1% and 5%. In 2009 grammar schools ended at 10% and specialist schools stopped at half their initial percentage.
Throughout the 9 years, community schools achieved a huge resurgence of 46% and specialist schools only suffered a loss of 3%.
