Most deprived 'still failing'
More than half of all secondary schools in the poorest areas of England are officially classed as failing, the Conservatives have claimed.
Government figures show 55% of schools in the most deprived areas did not have 30% of their pupils getting five GCSEs at A*-C, including English and maths.
Shadow schools secretary Michael Gove said it shows the Government's failure to close the gap between rich and poor.
