For the first time ever the Department for Education has

published the amount that has been spent by every school per pupil, and the

results have produced some interesting facts, especially concerning one school

in Pimlico.

Greycoat Hospital School spent the lowest amount out of

every Westminster based secondary school - £6,488 on average – yet still

managed to achieve the highest GCSE grades in the borough.

90 per cent of the pupils, who took their exams last summer,

achieved five or more A*- C grades including English and maths. Grey Coat also

spent the lowest amount on teaching staff (£3,302 per pupil) and catering (£82

per pupil), whilst also spending the least on ICT and learning resources.

By comparison St George’s RC School in Maida Vale spent the

most in the borough (£7,662 per pupil) where 59 per cent of pupils achieved the

same level in GCSE’s.

We’d love to hear from you if you work at the school or

indeed if you or your child attends Greycoat Hospital School.
