Footnotes
- Data is not available for 2020 and 2021 as assessments were cancelled in these years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Figures for 2026 are based on provisional data. Figures for other years are based on final data.
- Only includes pupils for whom a valid test or teacher assessment could be determined in maths and English in 2011, reading, writing and maths from 2012 to 2015 or a reading and maths valid scaled score from 2016-2019. This number may therefore differ from the total included in national test results which include pupils recorded as A - absent, U - unable to access test.
- 'All state funded' includes local authority maintained schools, academy sponsor led, academy converter, free schools and state funded special schools (including hospital schools).
