Footnotes

1. Special schools include all types of special schools due to the small numbers of schools.
2. Total state-funded mainstream schools and colleges covers all state-funded mainstream schools, academies, free schools, city technology colleges (CTCs), sixth-forma and other and FE sector colleges. Excludes alternative provision, special schools, other government department funded colleges and independent schools.
3. State-funded mainstream schools also includes city technology colleges (CTCs). Figures for this institution type are not shown separately in the table. Excludes pupil referral units (PRUs), alternative provision (AP), hospital schools, maintained and non-maintained special schools, independent schools, independent special schools and independent schools approved to take pupils with special educational needs (SEN).
4. Academies and free schools: there are now fewer local authority maintained schools and more academies and free schools than at the start of the 2016/17 academic year (when these school types are reported). In the case of some groups of school, such as University Technical Colleges (UTCs), this means the picture of the sector given in these statistics includes some of the first schools of this type to open and is based on a relatively small number of schools, many of which only had students joining for the last year of key stage 4 study.
5. State-funded mainstream colleges excludes other government department funded colleges.
6. All schools includes all local authority maintained mainstream schools, sponsored academies, converter academies, free schools, university technical colleges (UTCs), studio schools, special schools and independent schools. Also includes city technology colleges (CTCs). Alternative provision is not included.
7. Selective schools admit pupils wholly or mainly with reference to ability. These schools are formally designated as grammar schools. The schools status is based on admission policy in the secondary phase (i.e. age 11).
8. Local authority maintained includes community, voluntary aided, voluntary controlled and foundation schools.
9. Other are qualifications that are not included elsewhere in the 16-18 attainment performance tables
10. State-funded mainstream colleges includes sixth-form colleges and other further education colleges.
11. State-funded mainstream schools include local authority maintained schools, academies, free schools and city technology colleges.
12. Non-selective schools in highly-selective areas includes all non-selective schools in local authorities with a high level of selection (where 25% or more of state-funded secondary places are in state-funded selective schools). These local authorities are Bexley, Buckinghamshire, Kent, Lincolnshire, Medway, Poole, Slough, Southend-on-Sea, Sutton, Torbay, Trafford and Wirral. See technical note for further details.
13. Total for all schools and colleges includes all mainstream and special schools and colleges.
14. Other non-selective schools includes all non-selective schools that are not in highly selective areas, including those in areas with some selection.
15. Other FE sector colleges excludes other government department funded colleges.
16. All other education destinations include school sixth forms, sixth-form colleges, independent schools, specialist post-16 institutions, special schools and education combination destinations.
17. Independent schools: please note data for independent schools has much lower coverage than state-funded schools. This is likely to be due to difficulties linking their education records to employment data.
18. Please note data for independent schools has much lower coverage than state-funded schools. This is likely to be due to difficulties linking their education records to employment data.
