The information is not held centrally.<\/p>
<\/p>
Data on alternative provision (AP) is collected by the Department in two ways. The school census collects details of those pupils in pupil referral units, AP academies and AP free schools. This provision is commissioned by local authorities and includes pupils who may be dual-registered with an AP provider and a mainstream school. The school census is a statutory requirement and is collected three times a year (termly, in October, January and May).<\/p>
<\/p>
The AP census collects details on pupil placements in AP settings where a local authority is paying full tuition fees. This includes independent schools, further education colleges offering pre-16 provision and unregistered settings.<\/p>
<\/p>
However, neither the school census nor the AP census collect details on pupils placed in unregistered settings funded directly by schools.<\/p>

The number of state-funded students in scope for the 16-18 Maths measures and their attainment, split by disadvantage status[1] and prior attainment[2], can be found in tables 1-4, attached. These figures are for 2017/18. This expands on published data within the Department\u2019s statistical release, available here: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/a-level-and-other-16-to-18-results-2017-to-2018-revised<\/a>.<\/p> The number of state-funded students in scope for the 16-18 maths and English progress measures and their attainment, split by disadvantage status, prior attainment, and the type of qualification the student sat in their KS4 study[3], [4] are available in tables 5-8, attached. These figures are for 2017/18.<\/p> Disaggregating the published figures has necessitated a slightly different methodology to calculate the number of students with positive progress. In some cases this leads to a negligible difference when totals are compared to the published data within the Department\u2019s statistical release[5].<\/p> For figures in 2016/17, tables 1-8 have been replicated in tables 9-16, attached.<\/p> <\/p> [1] Disadvantage status is taken from the census recorded completed for that student\u2019s final year of key stage 4 study.<\/p> [2] In previous PQs 251400\u2013251406, prior attainment was given based on three groups (\u2018entry level or fail\u2019, \u2018below grade 3/D\u2019 and \u2018grade 3/D\u2019). In the attached tables with information relating to prior attainment points, these points are based on the student\u2019s highest prior attainment in mathematics or English. \u2018Entry level or fail\u2019 is synonymous with points 0 and 0.4. \u2018Below grade 3 or D\u2019 is synonymous with points 0.8\u20133.0. \u2018Grade 3 or D\u2019 is synonymous with points 4.0. This is the case for all the tables provided.<\/p> [3] \u2018GCSE or equivalent\u2019 includes students whose highest prior attainment were in a GCSE, International GCSE or level 2 certificate. Qualifications are included in this group because they are all similarly graded on a 9-1 or A*-G scale and are included as part of the condition for funding calculations. \u2018Other level 2 qualifications\u2019 includes students whose highest prior attainment was in any other level 2 qualification. This includes level 2 functional skills and free standing maths that are included as part of the condition of funding calculations. This is the case for tables 5-8 and 13-16.<\/p> [4] The methodology used means that for a small number of students any entries into maths during their 16-18 study which did not reach the grade 4/C threshold (leaving them in scope), may have led to their prior attainment being reclassified. This will have had no noticeable effect on the overall figures. Due to the methodology used to assign points to English literature and language, a small number of students may be assigned to a different qualification type. This is the case for tables 5-8 and 13-16.<\/p> <\/p>"}
