Footnotes

  1. Some zero percentages may represent small numbers due to rounding.
  2. Includes entries and achievements by these pupils in previous academic years.
  3. The Secondary accountability measures guidance can be found alongside the KS4 data and metadata files under 'Download associated files'.
  4. z = When an observation is not applicable
  5. : = When data is unavailable for other reasons
  6. Figures not present in the data means there are no pupils at the end of key stage 4 for this breakdown.
  7. Explore education statistics (EES) glossary can be found at https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/glossary
  8. The subject totals do not sum to the overall total because some pupils enter more than one vocational subject. For example, a pupil that has entered both Art & Design and Business will appear in both the Art & Design and Business totals but will be counted only once in the overall total.
  9. Local authority, region and England (alternative provision) figures only cover achievements in state-funded alternative provision schools (Pupil referral units, AP free schools and AP academies) as well as state-funded AP placements in other institutions including independent schools, non-maintained special schools and settings other than a school. They do not include pupils recently arrived from overseas. The 'England (all schools)' line includes all pupils from state-funded schools, independent schools, independent special schools, non-maintained special schools, hospital schools and alternative provision.
  10. Pupils also registered at an institution included within the Secondary School Performance Tables are excluded from the Alternative Provision data. In 2020, school performance tables have been cancelled and headline performance measures will not be available on the school performance tables website for 2019/20 Attainment data.
  11. Discounting has been applied where pupils have taken the same subject more than once. In 2019/20, only Only one entry per subject is counted and we count the entry with the highest grade for results received in Summer 2020. Previously only the first entry grade would count and this is still the case for any results received before Summer 2020. Further information can be found in the secondary accountability guidance where pupils have already entered for an exam within the same subject in 2018/19, first entry rules will still be used. For more on previous years’ discounting methodology prior to 2020, read the Discounting and Early Entry Guidance at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/key-stage-4-qualifications-discount-codes-and-point-scores 
  12. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting school closures, the summer exam series was cancelled in 2020. Pupils scheduled to sit GCSE exams in 2020 were awarded either a centre assessment grade submitted by their teachers or their calculated grade using a model developed by Ofqual - whichever was the higher of the two. Due to the changed awarding process for GCSE grades it is recommended that year on year comparisons are not made.
