Status

This statistical release is classed as ‘official statistics in development’.

It adheres to the principles outlined in the Code of Practice for Statistics wherever possible. However, the data source and methodology used in the production of these statistics is likely to develop over subsequent releases. This will be the case as we continue to work with exam boards to improve the data at source and continue to develop our methodology for analysing the data, particularly in how we link access arrangements data with our awarding dataset.

As such, figures reported here may change in subsequent releases as we make improvements to the accuracy of our reporting. Figures reported here are also different to those reported in previous releases (now withdrawn), for the same reason.

For more details on the data and methodology used for this release, and how we plan to develop it, please see the accompanying background information.

We encourage users of this release to give feedback via the survey or email link found in the ‘provide your feedback’ section below. This is, so that we can continue to develop these statistics with user needs in mind. Ofqual will also continue to engage with sector bodies as part of the development of our approach to these statistics and wider policy (see our regulatory report for more information on Ofqual’s wider work in this area).
