Footnotes

  1. Totals may be less than the sum of separate institution types as students who attend multiple institutions during 16 to 18 study are only included once in aggregations of those institutions.
  2. 'All state funded schools' includes city technology colleges (CTCs) and state-funded special schools. Figures for these institution types are not shown separately in the table. Excludes pupil referral units (PRUs), alternative provision (AP), hospital schools, non-maintained special schools, independent schools, independent special schools and independent schools approved to take pupils with special educational needs (SEN). These institution types are included in 'All schools'.
  3. Exam entries for students triggered for inclusion in performance tables, after discounting of exams at the major qualification level. Includes pending awards.
  4. Includes international GCSEs (regulated and unregulated) and level 1/level 2 certificates.
  5. A change to the trigger rules was introduced in 2020/21  such that students were no longer automatically reported after two years in 16-18 study. The introduction caused a fall in cohort size, particularly within the vocational and technical cohorts. A full impact analysis can be found in the methodology document.
