Footnotes
- 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, particularly within the vocational and technical cohorts. A full impact analysis can be found in the methodology document.
- Quality issues mean data for applied general and tech level qualifications have been redacted with 'x' in this provisional release. Complete data will be published in the revised release.
- Late results in revised data are expected to increase the overall number of students recorded as being at the end of 16-18 study.
