Footnotes

1. Local authority, region, parliamentary constituency figures cover achievements in state-funded schools only. They do not include pupils recently arrived from overseas and so will not sum to national level totals.
2. Progress 8 is not being published in 2024/25 and 2025/26 as KS4 pupils in this year do not have KS2 assessments due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Progress 8 was also not published in 2020 or 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
3. A Progress 8 score of 1.0 means pupils make on average a grade more progress than the national average of pupils with similar KS2 prior attainment in mainstream schools. Progress 8 should be interpreted alongside the associated confidence intervals. If the confidence intervals cross 0, then progress is not significantly different compared to pupils with similar KS2 prior attainment in mainstream schools.
4. Science includes double award GCSE for pupils on the combined science pathway or the average of a pupil's best two science grades for pupils on the single science pathway (i.e., where pupils enter three of biology, chemistry, computer science, and physics).
5. The open element of Attainment 8 contains the three highest point scores in any three other subjects eligible for performance tables, including English language or literature (if not counted in the English slot), further GCSE qualifications (including English Baccalaureate subjects) or any other non-GCSE qualifications on the DfE approved list.
6. For the number of slots filled, entries that were awarded U grades or other qualifications scoring 0 points are counted as a non-filled slot.
7. c = a cell that has been suppressed due to low number of pupils. Suppression is applied where the data contains only one school (for example Isles of Scilly). For 2020 and 2021 results where a geographical area contains only one school the data for that area has been been wholly suppressed.  This is in line with the announcement that school level data would not be published using either summer 2020 or summer 2021 exam grades awarded.

  To support building integrations on top of the explore education statistics API, software development kits (SDKs) are provided to streamline common tasks and communication with the API.

API data set details

• API data set name: National characteristics summary data
• API data set ID: 19e39901-560d-f972-b6f3-dd085539c095
• API data set version: 2.0.1

Download data set as CSV

Get familiar with the data. The CSV response will render its categories and column headers in a human-readable format (instead of machine-readable IDs).

Guidance: Download data set as CSV

Data set metadata

Look up human-readable labels and their corresponding machine-readable IDs to help you create data set queries.

Guidance: Get data set metadata

Query data set using GET

Quickly test the machine-readable IDs in a range of basic queries.

Guidance: Query data set (GET)

Query data set using POST

The POST endpoint is recommended for production level pipeline queries. POST requires a query to be built and supplied in JSON format using third party software such as Postman and Insomnia or programming languages such as Python, R, etc.
