Footnotes

1. Figures for 2022 are based on revised data. Figures for other years are based on final data.
2. Data is not available for 2020 and 2021 as assessments were cancelled in these years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
3. Includes only those pupils for whom a valid test level from 3-6 or teacher assessment level from W (working towards level 1) to 6 could be determined in reading, writing and maths from 2011/12 to 2014/15, or maths and English in 2010/11, or for a whom a valid scaled score could be determined in reading and maths in 2015/16 to 2018/19. This number may therefore differ from the total included in national test results which include pupils recorded as A - absent, U - unable to access test.

Footnotes

1. Disadvantaged pupils are defined as: those who were registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years, children looked after by a local authority or have left local authority care in England and Wales through adoption, a special guardianship order, a residence order or a child arrangements order. These 2022 statistics are revised and now include pupils in the care of a local authority. These pupils were not included in the provisional statistics unless they were also eligible for free school meals during the last 6 years or ceased to be looked-after in the last year.
2. Figures for 2022 are based on revised data. Figures for other years are based on final data.
3. Data is not available for 2020 and 2021 as assessments were cancelled in these years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
4. Writing teacher assessment and reading, writing and maths (combined) measures from 2018 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to changes in the writing teacher assessment frameworks.
5. Science teacher assessment measures from 2019 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to changes in the science teacher assessment frameworks.

Footnotes

1. Figures for Isles of Scilly and City of London are based on a single school in each local authority and therefore figures have been suppressed.
2. All figures include LA maintained schools, academies and free schools. Excludes alternative provision and independent schools.
3. Figures for 2022 are based on revised data. Figures for other years are based on final data.
4. Data is not available for 2020 and 2021 as assessments were cancelled in these years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
5. Science teacher assessment measures from 2019 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to changes in the science teacher assessment frameworks.
6. Users are advised to take care when interpreting writing and science teacher assessment measures and reading, writing and maths (combined) measures for West Sussex, particularly when making comparisons over time or between local authorities. This local authority has higher rates of missing teacher assessment in 2022 than other areas - see ‘Data quality’ section for further detail.

Footnotes

1. Disadvantaged pupils are defined as: those who were registered as eligible for free school meals at any point in the last six years, children looked after by a local authority or have left local authority care in England and Wales through adoption, a special guardianship order, a residence order or a child arrangements order. These 2022 statistics are revised and now include pupils in the care of a local authority. These pupils were not included in the provisional statistics unless they were also eligible for free school meals during the last 6 years or ceased to be looked-after in the last year.
2. Figures for 2022 are based on revised data. Figures for other years are based on final data.
3. Data is not available for 2020 and 2021 as assessments were cancelled in these years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
4. Writing teacher assessment and reading, writing and maths (combined) measures from 2018 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to changes in the writing teacher assessment frameworks.
5. Science teacher assessment measures from 2019 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to changes in the science teacher assessment frameworks.

Footnotes

1. All figures at national and parliamentary constituency level in the parliamentary constituency underlying data exclude pupils where their school has successfully applied during the performance tables checking exercise for them to be removed due to being admitted from abroad with English not as their first language within the 2021/22 academic year. These pupils are included in the national underlying data and national tables. All figures at national and parliamentary constituency level in the parliamentary constituency underlying data include pupils with missing results, pending maladministration or where they have taken the test in the past. These pupils are excluded from figures in the national underlying data and national tables. As a consequence of these differences, figures in the national and parliamentary constituency data may not match.
2. Figures for 2022 are based on revised data. Figures for other years are based on final data.
3. Data is not available for 2020 and 2021 as assessments were cancelled in these years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
4. Writing teacher assessment and reading, writing and maths (combined) measures from 2018 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to changes in the writing teacher assessment frameworks.
5. Science teacher assessment measures from 2019 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to changes in the science teacher assessment frameworks.

1. Writing teacher assessment and reading, writing and maths (combined) measures from 2018 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to changes in the writing teacher assessment frameworks.
2. 'All schools' includes all state-funded schools, alternative provision, and non-maintained special schools with pupils eligible for assessment at key stage 2. Participation by independent schools is voluntary, therefore the ‘All schools’ figures includes results from independent schools that chose to submit data and met the requirements for assessment and moderation.
