Coverage
This release provides information on destinations from:
- state-funded mainstream schools
- state-funded special schools (including non-maintained special schools)
- alternative provision
This information is based on data from the National Pupil Database and the Longitudinal Education Outcomes dataset.
The Code of Practice for Statistics requires us to take reasonable steps to ensure that our published or disseminated statistics protect confidentiality. Where appropriate we apply disclosure control to protect confidentiality.
The following symbols have been used in this publication:
( 0 ) zero
( c ) small number suppressed to preserve confidentiality or for accountability reasons
( z ) not applicable
( ~ ) positive % less than 0.5
Small cohorts
At institutional level, where cohorts are less than 6, all data are suppressed. This is to ensure that schools are not held to account for small cohorts of pupils rather than for confidentiality reasons.
This does not apply to levels of data other than institutional level.
