  2. Major and minor ethnicity breakdowns detailed at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/complete-the-school-census/find-a-school-census-code#ethnicity.
  3. A minor ethnicity result will not be reported unless the relevant major ethnicity group is also selected.
  4. Percentages rounded to nearest integer.
  5. Before using this table please check the methodology section for important information such as definitions, limitations and caveats about the data that may not be included in these footnotes.
  6. Achieved at least the expected level across all ELGs means a child achieved ‘expected’ or ‘exceeded’ in all 17 ELGs.
  7. Average total point score across all the early learning goals (ELGs). This is a supporting measure taking into account performance across all 17 ELGs, 1 point for emerging, 2 for expected and 3 for exceeding. The sum is then taken for all pupils with that characteristic and the mean given.
