Our response to your request is as follows: I have detailed below the information that is held and being released to you.

For example, in any Year 11 cohort there will be pupils who have made 1,2,3,4,5 LP and occasionally pupils, who, for whatever reason, have not made progress due to not taking final exams, or there being an absence of baseline data. These pupils are shown as zero or have a minus figure, hence why general averages are often below 3 across an entire cohort. It is important to note that for achievement (KS2-4) ALL pupils are included in the data, inclusive of pupils in special units, and those discounted from attainment data for whatever reason.
