From November 2020, the Department for Education has published the further education and skills, and apprenticeships and traineeships publications on a new statistics site, Explore education statistics (EES).

Latest data and additional breakdowns are now available within the publications on EES, along with historic data going back up to 6 years. Breakdowns of data published prior to those found on EES can be found below. If you need help finding a specific dataset published prior to November 2020, please use the table finder tool to search for different breakdowns.

The further education (FE) data library offers data and information on learners, learning programmes and learner achievement published prior to November 2020. The tables and reports included in the FE data library also cover areas of interest not represented in the main statistics publication.

These tables are a further cascade of the further education and skills statistics collection.

Please refer to the main collection for further education publications such as:

  • further education and skills releases
  • apprenticeship and traineeship releases
