This research uses Longitudinal Education Outcomes (LEO) data to carry out analysis of over 3.6 million individuals doing their GCSEs between 2002 and 2007.

The analysis makes comparisons using the following background characteristics:

  • Socioeconomic status
    • free school meals (FSM) eligibility
    • IDACI (Income Deprivation Affecting Children Index)
  • special educational needs (SEN) status
  • gender
  • ethnicity
  • first language
  • key stage 4 attainment
  • school type
  • region

It also observes how these differ for different education levels, doing comparisons of:

  • graduates and non-graduates
  • non-graduates achieving level 3 or above and level 2 or below

A dashboard is now available to create interactive charts for all the data included in this report.
