Footnotes
- The 'Other' category includes all-through schools covering nursery, primary, and secondary levels.
- The ‘Other types’ category includes city technology colleges, further education establishments, sixth form centres, special post-16 institutions and universities. It also includes non-maintained special schools and some independent special schools eligible for funding under Section 41 of the Children and Families Act 2014.
- Some independent special schools are eligible for NPQ funding under Section 41 of the Children and Families Act 2014. These schools are included in the 'special schools' category.
- Percentages are based only on known characteristics; unknowns are excluded from the calculations.
- NPQ funded and non-funded participants are calculated independently and may not sum to the total participants figure due to a small number of individuals who started both funded and non-funded NPQs in the same year.
