Footnotes
- Free school meals (FSM) status is based on the school census records at any point between school years 6 and 11.
- Prior attainment is defined by UCAS points achieved at A level. Three A/A* grades are equivalent to 360 points, while 180 points is equivalent to three D grades. A further explanation of prior attainment breakdowns, and a table of UCAS points and grade equivalents can be found in the methodology.
- POLAR (participation of local areas) classifies local areas into quintiles based on the proportion of 18 year olds who enter higher education at age 18 or 19. Graduates from POLAR quintile 1 are from areas with the lowest rate of progression into higher education and graduates from POLAR quintile 5 are from areas with the highest rate of progression. POLAR is an indicator of the relative deprivation of a geographical area. For more information on POLAR, please see the methodology document.
- In contrast to the UK domiciled section of this release, which uses matched graduates, employment and/or further study outcomes for international graduates are calculated as a percentage of all graduates, excluding only those identified by DWP/HMRC or SLC as permanently living overseas.
