<p>The closest information the Department publishes is the percentage of pupils, at
the end of Key Stage 4, who passed at least one GCSE or equivalent qualification;
this is published in the Key Stage 4 statistical first releases[1]. The remaining
percentage from this figure are those who did not pass any qualifications. The Department
publishes these figures at a local authority level, the closest available figures
to ‘north Cornwall’ are those for ‘Cornwall’. There have been some methodological
changes over the years, details of these are available in the main text and footnotes
of each statistical first release[2].</p><p> </p><p>[1] Figures for 2009/10 – 2014/15
are available within ‘table 16’ of the additional/local authority tables in the ‘revised’
publications from <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-gcses-key-stage-4"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-gcses-key-stage-4</a>
(table 15 for 2013/14). The ‘any passes’ column provides the figures. For 2015/16
– 2016/17, the figures are available from <a href="https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/download-data"
target="_blank">https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/download-data</a>
(select the year, Local authority (Cornwall), ‘Final key stage 4’ (revised, for 2016/17)
and download the Excel file. The column ‘PTANYQ_PTQ_EE’ is required; figures for Cornwall
are in the row labelled as rectype 4, the figures for England are labelled rectype
7. Rectype is found in column A.</p><p>[2] In the revised publications for each year,
from <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-gcses-key-stage-4"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-gcses-key-stage-4</a>,
the SFR text and main national tables contain an explanation of how the figures are
generated for that year. These changes mean that figures between years can not always
be directly compared.</p>
