Footnotes

The academies account return (AAR) data is reported on an academic year basis running from September - August. This is in contrast to the consistent financial reporting (CFR) data for LA maintained schools which is reported on a financial year basis running from April – March.
Due to rounding, some totals and percentages may not correspond to the calculation of individual figures
