**Percentages for schools where the number of leavers is greater than 0 but less than 5 have been replaced by asterisks (**) because they could be misleading or lead to identification of individuals.
##The symbol (##) has been inserted instead of figures for some schools. This indicates that the data are not available or comparable with other years because the school has recently opened or merged with another school, or is temporarily closed.

Where a school has been unable to provide information relating to any of the above, or where there are outstanding queries with regards data provided, the relevant entries are shown by an 'X'.

National averages have been calculated from the figures for all available local authority and grant-aided schools, whereas the local authority averages are based on local authority schools only.
