<p>The Department for Education does not hold information on pupils who received a
place at a state-funded selective school but does hold information on the number of
pupils enrolled in year 7 in state-funded selective schools in January each year.
The figures for January 2012 are given in the table below.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>Year 7 pupils in state-funded mainstream schools in England, January 2012</p><p>
