All schools include 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</p><p>(2) Discounting has been applied where pupils have taken the same
subject more than once. In 2021/22, with the return of the exam series, first entry
rules were reintroduced for discounting. Further information can be found in the secondary
accountability guidance. For more on the discounting methodology read the Discounting
and Early Entry Guidance</p><p>(3) Total number of entries include pupils who were
absent, whose results are pending and results which are ungraded or unclassified</p><p>(4)
Figures include attempts and achievements by these pupils in previous academic years
where discounting has been applied</p><p>(5) In 2017, new reformed GCSEs (which use
the 9-1 grade scale) were introduced into secondary school performance tables in a
phased approach. Unreformed subjects continued to be graded using the A* to G system.
From 2020 onwards all GCSEs are now reformed and use the 9-1 grading scale</p><p>(6)
For pupils at the end of KS4 in 2022/23, where pupils achieved qualifications in subjects
between January 2020 and August 2021, we will not use results from these qualifications
and these results are shown as covid impacted. The entries into the qualifications
are still counted.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Total number of pupils entering A level French,

Includes students triggered for inclusion in performance tables who completed A levels
during 16-18 study, after discounting of exams. Includes pending awards</p><p>(2)
A change to the trigger rules was introduced in 2020/21 such that students were no
longer automatically reported after two years in 16-18 study. The introduction caused
a fall in cohort size, particular within the vocational and technical cohorts. A full
impact analysis can be found in the methodology document (https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/methodology/a-level-and-other-16-to-18-results).</p>
