1. Looked After Population Data

1.1 Number of School Age children The chart shows, for each borough, the number of school age children looked after continuously for 12 months. The figure for Hounslow has remained stable at around 180 – 200 for some years. It includes all children from reception to year 11, but does not account for children in nursery provision or in further or higher education (including 6th form).

2.3 GCSEs - 1 Grade A*-G This chart shows the percentage of the Year 11 age children who attained at least 1 GCSE grade A*-G. Hounslow did not do well compared to other boroughs, but the figure for 2003 is a big improvement.

2.4 GCSEs - 5 Grade A*-G With very small cohorts, one child can represent up to 15% in any given authority. It should also be noted that authorities with high numbers of unaccompanied asylum seekers who are looked after also present with much higher percentages in this category.

2.5 GCSEs - 5 Grade A*-C In 2002, five outer London boroughs including Hounslow, had no year 11s who achieved 5 GCSEs Grade A*-C and all the rest of the boroughs (except Croydon) had numbers so low they are suppressed. This chart compares Hounslow with the figures for London and

• England. The figure of 9% in this chart represents 3 young people out of a cohort of 32.
