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>
