Attainment - black and minority ethnic groups (UK)

The term 'Black' includes people who define themselves as: African-Caribbean, Black African, Mixed White and Black Caribbean; Mixed White and Black African; Black Other.

In England conceptions of Black attainment are informed by Key Stage standard assessments tests and GCSE examinations when compared with the attainment of children from other ethnic groups. Such conceptions point to an 'ethnic' attainment gap between Black and White children (DfES 2007; DfE 2011, 2012)
