Footnotes

  1. Note that the methodology used to determine the top third Higher Education Institutions changed in 2020 for the 2016/17 cohort. Instead of the top 33% of institutions, institutions are now only added to the list until 33% of the student intake is represented. Additionally, qualifications equivalent to A levels are now included in the process, rather than solely A levels. Top third results from the 2015/16 cohort are thus not directly comparable with 2016/17 and later cohorts.
  2. State-funded mainstream schools & colleges covers all state-funded mainstream schools, academies, free schools, city technology colleges (CTCs), sixth forms and other FE sector colleges. Excludes alternative provision, special schools, other government department funded colleges and independent schools.
  3. Total state-funded mainstream schools also includes city technology colleges (CTCs). Figures for this institution type are not presented separately. 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. LLDD: Students in colleges may be recorded on the ILR as learners with learning difficulties and disabilities. The definitions differ from special educational needs recorded by schools.
  5. Other level 3 qualifications are those that are not included elsewhere in 16-18 performance tables.
  6. State-funded mainstream colleges include further education sector colleges and other government department funded colleges.
  7. Unclassified ethnicity includes students for whom ethnicity was not obtained, refused or could not be determined.
  8. Disadvantage status is given as in year 11. Disadvantaged students are defined as those who were eligible for free school meals at any point in the previous six years or having been looked after by their local authority. These are the students who would have been in receipt of the pupil premium when in year 11. Students with no key stage 4 record were not known to be disadvantaged in year 11 and are included in all other students.
  9. Note that the methodology used to determine the top third Higher Education Institutions changed in 2024 for the 2020/21 cohort.  The change is covered in detail within the accompanying methodology document.
  10. The way we decide when a student is at the end of 16 to 18 study changed for the 2020/21 and 2021/22 cohorts.  This change means the make up of these cohorts are different to previous years, and also to each other due to effects from the transition from the old criteria to the new. As such any comparison to previous years should be avoided.
