Some 34.6% of pupils who are on free school meals – meaning their families earn less than £16,000 a year – obtained the grades. For white, British-born pupils, the figure was lower – just 28.8%. For boys alone, it was 26%.
In contrast, almost three-quarters – 73.5% – of Chinese pupils on free school meals were awarded five A* to C grades, including English and maths. Every group, apart from those from traveller, Gypsy or Roma families, performed better than white, British-born children.
