Footnotes

1. 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.
2. 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.
