Summary
• Attainment: Overall Chinese and Indian pupils were the best performing groups and Black African, Caribbean and travellers the worst performing groups.
• Progress - Muslim pupils start off well below national average – but catch up in England
• However, at the age of 16 Pakistani boys in England still score well below national average – in Scotland the gap is generally smaller.
Summary II
• Gender difference is marked and cut across ethnicity. Notably, Pakistani girls make greater progress than Pakistani boys and overtake white girls.
• Social deprivation matters – but the difference in educational attainment on the grounds of social deprivation is not as great for minority ethnic groups as for white pupils.
