TO NOTE: The methodology used to produce the education statistics has been updated in 2023/24 to improve data quality and consistency.

These have now been split into two separate files to allow the Education Tables to be marked as using ‘old methodology’ in comparison to the revised tables published in the 2023/24 collection. No figures have been amended in the tables presented on this page.
