1 in 4 primary school pupils in Britain are from an ethnic minority

One in four primary school pupils in Britain today are from an ethnic minority - and almost a million schoolchildren do not speak English as their first language.

Official figures from the Department for Education show the numbers in both categories have soared in the last five years.

More than one in four (26.5 per cent) primary school pupils are from an ethnic minority, compared with 21.9 per cent in 2007.  | Mail Online
