Notes about the data:
- Includes state-funded students who ended 16-18 study in the reported year (for example, 2023/24).
- Includes students who entered for at least four A levels, one being A level mathematics, one being A level further mathematics and at least one other A level being eligible for the high value courses premium.
- Discounting rules apply (in other words, where students have multiple entries in the same subject, the best result is included).
