Susan Hall AM: Hello, both. I do not suppose you will like these questions, anyway, but here we go. We are all agreed that on one of your briefing papers, females, BAME people and disadvantaged Londoners were going to be targeted by this AEB. White pupils on free school meals aged between 11 and 16 getting a grade 5 or above in English and maths GCSE is 25%, whereas the same statistic is 38.7% for Black pupils, 45.2% for Asian pupils and 79.6% for Chinese pupils.
