The table illustrates the percentage of school children attending four different types of secondary school from 2010 to 2015. It is evident that whereas the community schools experienced a marked increase in the proportion of those attending their institutions over the period, the others saw a corresponding decline. To begin, the percentage of pupils in voluntary-controlled schools grow from just over half to only 20% or one-third from 2000 to 2009. Similarly, the relative number of children in grammar schools - just under one quarter - dropped by half in the same period. As for the grammar schools, the relatively small percentage of pupils attending this type of school also grows, although not significantly. However, while the other four types of school declined in importance, the opposite was true in the case of community schools. In fact, whereas only a majority of 12% were educated in these schools in 2000, this figure increased to well over half of all pupils during the following eight years.
