Footnotes
- Figures for the total APS per entry student count may not match the sum of females and males, as not all institutions recorded the sex for every student.
- Totals may be less than the sum of separate institution types as students who attend multiple institutions during 16-19 study are only included once in aggregations of those institutions.
- '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'.
- Prior attainment and progress scores consist of students at the end of 16-19 study who are subject to the 16-19 maths and English Condition of Funding requirements. These are students who did not achieve a 9-4 or equivalent in qualifications which count as prior attainment by the end of key stage 4. For further details, see the guidance on the Condition of Funding.
- The list of qualifications that count towards the English and maths progress measure can be found at 16-19 English and maths progress measure qualifications (opens in new tab).
- For 2024/25, final data is reported instead of the revised data normally presented for historical comparison. This is due to data quality issues affecting late results and Q grades in the 2024/25 revised data.
