Source Notes and Caveats

  • All figures include LA maintained schools, academies and free schools. Excludes alternative provision and independent schools.
  • Figures for 2023 are based on revised data. Figures for other years are based on final data.
  • Data is not available for 2020 and 2021 as assessments were cancelled in these years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Writing teacher assessment and reading, writing and maths (combined) measures from 2018 onwards are not directly comparable to previous years due to changes in the writing teacher assessment frameworks.

How to read time intervals in ISO8601 format

This dataset uses custom time intervals format for periods, YYYY-MM-DDT00:00:00/PnI, where P tells that this is period; n is the number of intervals and I is interval type which can be Y(year), M(month), W(week), D(day). For example, from April 2019 to March 2022 is represented as 2019-04-01T00:00:00/P3Y, which can be read as '3 years period starts from 1st of April 2019 and ends on 31st March 2022'.
