1. State-funded schools include academies, free schools, city technology colleges, further education colleges with provision for 14- to 16-year-olds and state-funded special schools. They exclude independent schools, independent special schools, non-maintained special schools, hospital schools and alternative provision (including pupil referral units, AP free schools and AP academies as well as state-funded AP placements in other institutions).
2. Schools are included based on the percentage point difference between the 2014/15 cohort and 2016/17 cohort. For each academic year the total percentage of FSM and non-FSM white males achieving the measure are taken, the difference between these two percentages constitutes the attainment gap for that academic year. The attainment gaps for 2014/15 and 2016/17 are then compared and the difference between these is the 'change in attainment gap'. A positive number indicates that the gap grew whilst a negative number indicates that the gap shrunk (the schools with a negative number are included in this list). In 125 schools the FSM cohort outperformed the non- FSM cohort in 2016/17, in these schools the negative 'change in attainment gap' indicates a growth of the attainment gap for FSM pupils over non-FSM pupils.
3. Includes pupils eligible to be included in school level results, rather than national level results – this leads to small differences in the cohort compared to the published figures. Schools are included where they have at least 6 white male pupils who are eligible for FSM and 6 who are not; this is to protect the confidentiality of pupils in line with the Department’s confidentiality policy: (https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/fil e/190768/Confidentiality_Policy_v4.pdf). Schools also must have a valid cohort in both years in order for the attainment gap change to be calculated – this mainly affects schools that closed or opened after 2014/15. Caution should be taken when looking at the change in attainment at school level due to the relatively small cohort sizes at some schools. The effect of a few low/high attaining pupils may greatly influence the overall change in attainment at a school with a small cohort; whilst some schools appear to have significant swings in the attainment gap, in many cases this will be a function of the changing cohort in the school over time.
4. Figures are based on pupils at the end of key stage 4, who attended a state-funded school (as independent schools do not have to complete the school census which records this information). 5. Includes pupils not eligible for free school meals (FSM) and for whom FSM eligibility was unclassified or could not be determined.

6. In 2014/15 and earlier, where the English language and English literature option was chosen in English, exams in both must be taken and a C grade or above achieved in English language. From 2015/16, to meet the English requirement of the A*-C in English and maths attainment measure, a C in either English language or English literature counts and there is no requirement to take both. In 2016/17, following the introduction of the reformed 9 to 1 GCSEs in English, a grade 5 or above in either English language or English literature counts and there remains no requirement to take both in order to achieve a pass. The 9-4 pass shows pupils who achieved a grade 4 or above in either English language or English literature and Mathematics and is shown alongside the headline measure for transparency and comparability.
7. In 2013/14, two major reforms were implemented which affect the calculation of key stage 4 (KS4) performance measures data: 1) Professor Alison Wolf’s Review of Vocational Education recommendations which: restrict the qualifications counted; prevent any qualification from counting as larger than one GCSE; and cap the number of non-GCSEs included in performance measures at two per pupil, and 2) an early entry policy to only count a pupil’s first attempt at a qualification, in subjects counted in the English Baccalaureate. 8. Figures are based on final data.
