Footnotes

  1. 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.
  2. Some zero percentages may represent small numbers due to rounding.
  3. z = When an observation is not applicable
  4. Local authority, region and the total (state-funded sector) figures cover achievements in state-funded schools only. They do not include pupils recently arrived from overseas and so will not match with state-funded figures in the national tables. 'England' includes all pupils from state-funded schools, independent schools, independent special schools, non-maintained special schools, hospital schools, pupil referral units and alternative provision. Alternative provision includes academy and free school alternative provision.
  5. Pupils also registered at an institution normally included within the Secondary School Performance Tables (state funded mainstream schools) are excluded from the Alternative Provision data. This methodology has been retained for attainment data in 2020 and 2021 even though the school performance tables have been cancelled.
  6. : = When data is unavailable for other reasons
  7. Discounting has been applied where pupils have taken the same subject more than once. In 2020/21, only one entry per subject is counted and we count the entry with the highest grade for results received in summer 2021. Previously only the first entry grade would count and this is still the case for any results received before summer 2021. Further information can be found in the secondary accountability guidance. Where pupils have already entered for an exam within the same subject in an earlier year, first entry rules are still being used. For more on the 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
