Footnotes

  1. Local authority, region, parliamentary constituency and the total (state-funded sector) figures cover achievements in state-funded schools only. They do not include pupils recently arrived from overseas and so will not match with state-funded figures in the national tables.
  2. Discounting has been applied. For further information please see the discounting guidance (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/key-stage-4-qualifications-discount-codes-and-point-scores (opens in a new tab)).
  3. Any science includes Astronomy, Electronics, Environmental Science and Geology.
  4. Any Design and Technology includes Design and Technology Engineering and Product Design qualifications.
  5. Combined Science GCSE is a Double Award and is included in this table for the purpose of comparison with other Science subjects.
  6. For pupils at the end of KS4 in 2023/24, where pupils achieved qualifications in subjects between January 2020 and August 2021, we will not use results from these qualifications. The entries into the qualifications are still counted.
