Includes pupils in all schools, who are eligible for inclusion in school level performance measures. Schools are only included if they are included in the the Department's school performance tables.

Includes pupils in state-funded schools only (as per the Department's established methodology for local authority data). This is therefore a different cohort to the school and national aggregation (excludes independent schools).
