<p>The department publishes educational performance data for schools and colleges
in England based on the performance of students at the end of key stage 4 (age 16)
and for 16 to18 year olds, regardless of the institution they attend. Data can be
found here: <a href="https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/" target="_blank">https://www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk/</a>.</p><p>
</p><p>Further education colleges with 14 to 16 year old provision are included in
the secondary performance data, as secondary accountability measures apply to these
colleges. Just 17 of the 5,516 institutions with pupils completing key stage 4 in
2017 were further education colleges.</p><p> </p><p>The secondary floor standard,
which is the minimum standard for pupil attainment and/or progress that the government
expects schools to meet, also applies to further education colleges with 14 to 16
year old provision, as they are state-funded mainstream education providers for this
age group. Floor standards do not apply to special schools, independent schools, pupil
referral units, alternative provision or hospital schools.</p>
