More than 30 state http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=586 in England are made up solely of ethnic minority pupils with no white children on the roll, according to government figures.
The finding follows a warning from Britain’s race watchdog that schools are becoming increasingly segregated along racial lines.
The schools, which were not identified, are likely to include England’s nine http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3739 schools.
The remaining 20, all primaries, are likely to be in areas with large ethnic minorities.
Trevor Phillips, the chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission, who has claimed that Britain is “http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=2980 into segregation”, said last year that there was a disturbing trend for schools to become either mainly white or mainly black. He pinned the blame on the phenomenon of “white flight” from racially mixed areas, saying: “To put it crudely, white parents, particularly, are unhappy about putting children in schools where they think their children are going to be in a minority.”
The new figures, released under the Freedom of Information Act, show that entirely non-white schools can be found in 10 education authority areas: Bradford, Kirklees and Calderdale in West Yorkshire; Lancashire, Oldham and Blackburn; the London boroughs of http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3871, Ealing and Hillingdon; and Birmingham.
Groups which are counted as “white” include white British, Irish, http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3845 or “any other white”.
