Footnotes
- Children can be counted under more than one basis for funding if more than one applies.
- No data on early years pupil premium or free school meals is available for children registered at general hospital schools.
- Data collected in 2021 (and to a lesser extent 2022) was affected by the impact of COVID-19 uncertainty on providers and parents. Further information is available on the methodology page.
