More than 80 state schools in England have no white British pupils, Government figures show.
The
number of such schools appears to have more than doubled over the past
five years, and the findings will fuel concerns that some parts of the
country are becoming increasingly segregated.
The
new figures follow research showing that white Britons are retreating
from areas dominated by ethnic minorities, to be replaced by immigrants
and other ethnic minorities.
An Education: More than 80 state schools have no
white British pupils, compared to 31 schools in 2008, Department for
Education figures have revealed (file picture)
The Department for Education figures, revealed in a Freedom of Information request, show that 84 schools recorded last year that no pupils on their rolls were white British. Of those, 67 are primaries, eight secondaries and the remainder special or pupil referral units.
The statistics, derived from the annual school census, found that the highest concentration is in Birmingham, with 22 such schools, followed by Oldham with eight, Leicester with seven and the London borough of Tower Hamlets with six.
