Footnotes
- Figures for the total number of students may not match the sum of females and males, as not all institutions recorded the gender for every student.
- Disadvantage status is as reported at the end of key stage 4. Analysis involving disadvantage status includes students at state-funded schools and colleges only.
- EHC plans and statements of SEN are legal documents which detail the needs of the individual student, and the assistance they are to receive.
- Exam entries are for the current academic year. Includes pending awards. Covers students aged 16, 17 or 18 at the start of the academic year.
- 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, particular within the vocational and technical cohorts. A full impact analysis can be found in the methodology document.
