</p><p>[1] Total number of entries include pupils who were absent, whose results are
pending and results which are ungraded or unclassified.</p><p>[2] Discounting has
been applied where pupils have taken the same subject more than once and only one
entry is counted in these circumstances. Prior to 2014, best entry discounting, where
the pupil’s best result is used was in place in performance tables. From 2014 onwards,
first entry rules were introduced, where a pupil’s first entry in that subject is
used in performance tables. For more information on discounting and early entry, see:

Art and design subjects are a category used with the Department’s statistical releases
and include: Applied art and design, Art and design, Drama, Media/Film/TV, Music,
Drama and Performing arts.</p><p>[4] All figures are based on final data so will deviate
from total entries figures published in the departments statistical release.</p><p>[5]
Figures for 2011/12 are based on GCSE entries only and does not include equivalents.
Caution should be used when comparing these figures to later years.</p><p>[6] In 2013/14,
two major reforms were implemented which affect the calculation of key stage 4 performance
measures data: 1) Professor Alison Wolf’s Review of Vocational Education recommendations
which: restrict the qualifications counted; prevent any qualification from counting
as larger than one GCSE; and cap the number of non-GCSEs included in performance measures
at two per pupil, and 2) an early entry policy to only count a pupil’s first attempt
at a qualification, in subjects counted in the English Baccalaureate.</p><p>[7] From
2014/15, early entry policy, under which only a pupil’s first attempt at a qualification
is counted in performance measures, is extended to all subjects.</p>
