Pupils: Languages
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many pupils who did not have English as their first language had each different non-English language as their first language in each of the last 10 years.
Answered by Georgia Gould
The department collects data where a pupil’s first language is known or believed to be other than English. Where a pupil is recorded to speak a first language known or believed to be other than English, a language is recorded. The attached document shows the number of pupils in England, by first language spoken, over the last ten years.
