The number of state-funded students in scope for the 16-18 mathematics and English measures and their attainment, split by disadvantage status[1] and prior attainment, are provided in the attached tables. This expands on published data within the Department’s statistical release[2].

[1] Disadvantage status is taken from the census recorded completed for that student’s final year of key stage 4 study.
