The school and college performance tables report the results of pupils at the end of key stage 4 (KS4) in secondary schools.
We are not publishing attainment data impacted by coronavirus (COVID-19) at the school and college level. For this year, data will only include:
destinations of students after completing KS4
The performance tables provide information on the attainment of students of sixth-form age in secondary schools and further education sector colleges in the academic year 2013 to 2014.
They also show how these results compare with other schools and colleges in a local authority area and in England as a whole.
The tables report the results of 16- to 18-year-old students at the end of advanced level study in the 2013 to 2014 academic year. All schools and colleges in a local authority area are listed in alphabetical order, including:
Special schools that have chosen to be included are also listed, as are any sixth-form centres or consortiums that operate in an area.
Since 2013 the performance tables have reported indicators for three separate cohorts:
To be included in a cohort, a student needs to have taken at least one substantial qualification in one or more of the qualification types. Students following programmes of mixed qualification types may belong to more than one cohort, therefore full-time equivalent (FTE) figures are provided alongside student numbers. FTE figures take account of the proportion of time a student spends in each cohort based on the size of the qualification.

Additional data on schools will be made available, which includes information on the expenditure of each maintained school open for the full 2011 to 2012 financial year. The expenditure data will take the form of spend-per-pupil statistics for a wide range of categories, including: funding and income, education staff spend and learning resources and curriculum spend.
The school-spend data will also contain information about the school (such as the proportion of pupils in the school eligible for free school meals), headline key stage 4 performance data and comparisons against the local authority and national averages, the numbers of teachers, teaching assistants and other school staff.
It also provides the pupil-to-teacher ratio and the mean gross salary of full-time teachers, information on the characteristics of the pupils attending the school and pupil absence data for each school.

Following significant government support, 81.9% of secondary schools are now academies according to the government, with maintained schools increasingly converting. Both types remain under strict government guidelines, but academies can decide term dates, curriculums, subject choices and budget decisions. Despite several years of economic turmoil, government funding has remained strong because of the importance of maintaining and improving UK education standards. Secondary education revenue is expected to have grown at a compound annual rate of 1.4% to £66.1 billion over the five years through 2024-25, growing by 2.1% in 2024-25. The COVID-19 outbreak severely disrupted the day-to-day running of schools throughout 2020-21, with temporary closures forcing pupils to stay at home and learn online. The Educational Recovery Fund has supported educational catch-up, totalling around £5 billion in February 2022, preventing a significant drop in revenue during the COVID-19 outbreak. In cash terms, total funding for all state-funded schools totalled £60.7 billion in 2024-25 due to a £3.9 billion funding increase in 2024-25. Private school pupil numbers have marginally dipped, with the ISC recording a 0.1% decline in independent secondary school pupil numbers over the year through January 2024, with the cost-of-living crisis having squeezed some parents' purse strings. For the start of the 2024-25 academic year, private school enrolments were down, especially for new starters in their first year of secondary school, with the potenital for fee hikes if VAT is added in January 2025 looming. This could pose a threat to profit and place more pressure on state schools to open up available places. Secondary education revenue is projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 2% to £72.9 billion over the five years through 2029-30. The number of international students attending independent schools has not fallen with immigration policies, as many independent schools hold Student Visa Sponsors. With school costs still continuing to grow by 4% in 2024-25, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies, school funding per pupil will remain stretched.
This statistic shows the truancy rate as reported by ** year olds in the United Kingdom and selected OECD countries in 2015. The highest rate was found in Montenegro, at ** percent. The United Kingdom was above the OECD average, whilst Japan had the lowest reported rate. Rather than being collected from schools, the data here represents the percentage of ** year olds who personally said in the PISA that they had skipped classes or days of school. The countries shown here are a selection of those tested and do not represent the full survey.

This is the number of permanent exclusions at state-funded primary schools expressed as a percentage of the number (headcount) of pupils (including sole or dual main registrations and boarding pupils). A permanent exclusion refers to a pupil who is excluded and their name removed from the school register. Such a pupil would then be educated at another school or via some other form of provision. The head teacher of a school can exclude a pupil on disciplinary grounds only. Good discipline in schools is essential to ensure that all pupils can benefit from the opportunities provided by education. The decision to exclude a pupil must be lawful, reasonable, and fair. In addition, schools have a statutory duty not to discriminate against pupils on the basis of protected characteristics, such as disability or race. Schools and LAs must arrange alternative provision from the sixth day of the exclusion of pupils of compulsory school age. 'State-funded primary schools' refers to those schools maintained by the local authority, including middle schools deemed as primary and academies. Pupil and exclusion numbers of 1 to 4 are suppressed to protect pupil confidentiality and numbers at national and regional levels are rounded to the nearest 10. Local authority totals across school types are also rounded to the nearest 10 to prevent disclosure of any suppressed values. Where any number is shown as 0, the original figure was also 0.

This project investigated UK secondary school students’ views of inequality and their sense of agency concerning their occupational prospects, using questionnaire and interview data. The data came from 78 students from three secondary schools in England between Year 7 and Year 13 who were aged between 12 and 19. The three schools were in areas with different socioeconomic characteristics – an affluent town in the London commuter belt (School A), a city in the east of England (School B) and a town to the east of London (School C). School A had a lower than national average free school meals (FSM) rate, whereas both School B and School C had a higher than national average FSM rate.
18 participants were from School A, 38 from School B and 22 from School C. While all 18 students in School A and all 22 students in School C participated in both the questionnaire and follow-up interview stages, in School B 37 participants filled in the questionnaire and, of these, 22 took part in the interviews. One student from School B who did not fill in a questionnaire took part in the interview, making the total interviews from School B 23. One student from School C did not want to have their interview audio-recorded; therefore, their interview transcript does not exist.
As a result, the dataset in total contains 77 questionnaires and 62 interview transcripts. The PDF files are questionnaire files and the word document files are interview transcripts. A file name (for both the pdf files and word document files) begins with ‘Y’ that is followed by a number which indicates a school year and this is followed by two letters that indicate a code for an individual participant, while the letter A, B or C immediately after a hyphen indicates School A, B or C respectively.
