TABLES:

A glance at the graph provided reveals data regarding the four schools and the years 2000-2009, giving information about their percentages.

The central idea of the chart is demonstrated from the downward trend (in percentages) by the first three schools and the rise (in percentages) for the community school.

Firstly, specialist schools kick off with a percentage of x in the year 2000. Following that, it decreases overtime, reaching x% by 2009. Likewise, the grammar schools start with a much higher percentage of x, which then decreases by x% and ends up at x%. Lastly, the voluntary-controlled schools have the largest share of percentage in 2000, sitting at 52% which then drops to x% and comes to x% towards the end.

On the other hand, community schools have very low numbers initially (x%). Afterwards in 2005 and 2009, the percentages soar to x% and x% respectively.

By way of conclusion, among the differences, specialist schools maintained the most minor changes; comparatively.

1. Vertical-horizontal-everything in between. The table represents the four different schools from years 2000 to 2009 giving information about the percentages of students.
2. Compare the columns and rows and see the trend (mostly with years). The percentage of whatever kept on increasing while the percentage of whatever decreased over the years. Also, the percentage of whatever remained constant.
3. Body 1: Group one thing
4. Body 2: Group the other thing
5. Conclusion: Whatever you have not done in the overview.
