GCE A-level: Knowsley
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many people from Knowsley constituency have studied A levels in another local authority in each of the last 10 years.
Answered by Catherine McKinnell
The department does not in general hold the specific information on students who study qualifications outside of their home local authority in the format requested.
The below table provides data on the number of students entering A or AS level examinations for the last five academic years for students whose home postcode is in the Knowsley local authority. The data covers students who reached the end of 16 to 18 study in the academic year stated, having attended a state-funded school or college, which could either be in Knowsley local authority or in another local authority in England.
| 2018/19 | 2019/20 | 2020/21 | 2021/22 | 2022/23 |
Students residing in Knowsley entering A/AS levels | 553 | 498 | 472 | 526 | 555 |
Separately, the ‘A level and other 16 to 18 results’ statistical release provides data on the number of students entering A/AS levels by the end of 16-18 study, by the local authority where the state-funded schools and colleges they attend is located. This data release is available here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/a-level-and-other-16-to-18-results.
