in 1981, 1991 and 2001. 
 
The pie charts compare the expenditure of a school in the UK in three different years 
over a 20-year period. 
It is clear that teachers’ salaries made up the largest proportion of the school’s spending 
in all three years (1981, 1991 and 2001). By contrast, insurance was the smallest cost in 
each year. 
In 1981, 40% of the school’s budget went on teachers’ salaries. This figure rose to 50% 
in 1991, but fell again by 5% in 2001. The proportion of spending on other workers’ 
wages fell steadily over the 20-year period, from 28% of the budget in 1981 to only 15% 
in 2001. 
Expenditure on insurance stood at only 2% of the total in 1981, but reached 8% in 
2001. Finally, the percentages for resources and furniture/equipment fluctuated. The 
figure for resources was highest in 1991, at 20%, and the proportion of spending on 
furniture and equipment reached its peak in 2001, at 23%.

Residents cycling to work (table) 
The table below shows changes in the numbers of residents cycling to work in different 
areas of the UK between 2001 and 2011. 
 
The table compares the numbers of people who cycled to work in twelve areas of the UK 
in the years 2001 and 2011. 
Overall, the number of UK commuters who travelled to work by bicycle rose 
considerably over the 10-year period. Inner London had by far the highest number of 
cycling commuters in both years. 
In 2001, well over 43 thousand residents of inner London commuted by bicycle, and this 
figure rose to more than 106 thousand in 2011, an increase of 144%. By contrast, 
although outer London had the second highest number of cycling commuters in each 
year, the percentage change, at only 45%, was the lowest of the twelve areas shown in 
the table. 
Brighton and Hove saw the second biggest increase (109%) in the number of residents 
cycling to work, but Bristol was the UK’s second city in terms of total numbers of cycling 
commuters, with 8,108 in 2001 and 15,768 in 2011. Figures for the other eight areas 
were below the 10 thousand mark in both years.
