Dear G Yafai,

Thank you for your recent request for information which I have included
for ease of reference, and which we have treated in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Our response:

 

Please provide the following data

 

Key stage 4 Attainment for Black and Ethnic Minority Groups and the
percentage point gap between pupils in each ethnic group particularly the
Yemeni group for the last 5 years

 

Data that shows achievement levels of Yemeni children compared to other
minority groups in Newport.

 

Please see attached. Please note, at the time of providing a response to
this FOI, we did not have the final 2014 KS4 data. Also the methodologies
we have used from 2012 and prior is different to the methodology used in
2013.

 

We cannot provide data for the wider ethnic groups as provided by the
Welsh Government, as this would result in small numbers of pupils and
could lead to identification of pupils. We have therefore used the main
ethnic groupings. Yemeni pupils are included in the main grouping “Any
other ethnic background”.

If you have any queries with this response please don't hesitate to
contact me.

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your
request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision,
you should write to the Freedom of Information Officer, Newport City
Council.

If you are not content with the subsequent outcome of your complaint, you
may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision.
Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the
Councils complaints procedure. The Information Commissioner can be
contacted at: The Information Commissioners Office, Wycliffe House, Water
Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.

Regards,

Kate O’Brian

Education Officer
