Data guidance

Description of the data sets included in this release, including information on data sources, coverage, quality and any data conventions used.

Description

This data covers the performance of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 (KS4) in 2024/25. The data covers the main headline measures of:

• Attainment 8
• Percentage of pupils achieving 9-5 in English and maths
• Percentage of pupils entering the English Baccalaureate
• EBacc Average Points Score (EBacc APS) 

It is not possible to calculate Progress 8 for academic years 2024/25 and 2025/26 due to gaps in the baseline caused by COVID-19 disruption.

The data also covers numerous additional measures, depending on the data file.

The publication methodology should be referenced alongside this data. It provides information on the data sources, their coverage and quality, as well as explaining methodology used in producing the data. 

Coverage

This data covers the GCSE results of pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 (KS4) in 2024/25. The data is split by establishment type, as well as some data being split by pupil characteristics such as disadvantage status, free school meal status, special educational needs status and ethnicity. The data covers statistics at national, regional, local authority, local authority district and parliamentary constituency level.

File formats and conventions

The data is rounded to either 1 or 2 decimal places, depending on which measure you are looking at. Some of the raw data totals go up to 3 decimal places. No suppression has been applied above school level.
