Footnotes

The following education settings are included: academies (including free schools and studio schools), local authority maintained schools (excluding local authority nursery schools), non-maintained special schools, alternative provision and university technical colleges.
Local authority level data is based on responding schools only. Unlike national level data, no adjustments are made for non-response. Response rates vary by local authority and different schools within a local authority may respond on different days. Care should be taken when comparing local authorities and when interpreting trends over time because differences could be due to response bias or different schools being included in the data.
