Key stage 5 attainment data</p><p> </p><p>[1] Pupils are identified as being at the
end of key stage 4 if they were on roll at the school and in year 11 at the time of
the January school census for that year. Age is calculated as at 31 August for that
year, and the majority of pupils at the end of key stage 4 were age 15 at the start
of the academic year. Some pupils may complete this key stage in an earlier or later
year group.</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: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/key-stage-4-qualifications-discount-codes-and-point-scores"

All schools includes state-funded schools, independent schools, independent special
schools, non-maintained special schools, hospital schools, pupil referral units and
alternative provision. Alternative provision includes academy and free school alternative
provision. Since September 2013, general further education colleges and sixth-form
colleges have been able to directly enrol 14 to 16 year-olds. The academic year 2014/15
was the first year in which colleges have pupils at the end of key stage 4. From 2016
onwards, entries and achievements for these pupils are included in figures as state-funded
schools.</p><p>[4] Total number of entries include pupils who were absent, whose results
are pending and results which are ungraded or unclassified.</p><p>[5] Includes GCSE
full courses, level 2 equivalents, GCSE double awards and AS levels.</p><p>[6] 2009/10

2009/1010 to 2017/18 results taken from final data; 2018/19 results taken from revised
data and includes all schools and colleges in England.</p><p>[8] Covers students aged
16 to 18 at the beginning of the academic year, i.e. 31 August.</p><p>[9] This is
the number of entries, rather than the number of students, so may include resits.</p>
