Footnotes
- Figures for the total number of students may not match the sum of females and males, as not all institutions recorded the sex for every student.
- Disadvantage status is as reported at the end of key stage 4. Analysis involving disadvantage status includes students at state-funded schools and colleges only.
- EHC plans and statements of SEN are legal documents which detail the needs of the individual student, and the assistance they are to receive.
- Exam entries for students triggered for inclusion in performance tables, after discounting of exams at the major qualification level. Includes pending awards.
- Includes international GCSEs (regulated and unregulated) and level 1/level 2 certificates.
- 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.
