Notes:
1. The financial data are taken from LEAs' section 52 outturn statement submitted to the DfES from 19992000 onwards and the ODPM's RO1 statement previously. 200203 data are subject to change by the LEA.
2. The cost of home to school transport includes the cost of public transport, contract hire or the use of authority vehicles in transporting pupils to school under section 509 of the Education Act 1996.
3. Wholly selective areas for grammar school ballots purposes are those which the Department has calculated that 25 per cent. or more of the maintained secondary school population attend maintained grammar schools.
4 Figures include all expenditure by the local authority on school transport. This includes the pre-primary, primary, secondary and special school sectors. The unit cost is calculated by dividing the sum of the net expenditure in these sectors by the total number of pupils educated in LEA maintained nursery, primary, secondary and special schools.
5. The statistical neighbours categorisations are based upon the classifications developed by Ofsted. The calculation of statistical neighbours is concerned with finding, for each LEA, other LEAs with the most similar values of a given set of variables that describe LEA contexts. The average for a LEA's statistical neighbours is calculated using the sum of the 10 statistically "closest' neighbours net expenditure divided by the total number of pupils educated in these 10 LEAs.
6. Pupil data are drawn from the Annual Schools Census adjusted to be on a financial year basis.

Notes:
1. The financial data is taken from LEAs' Section 52 Outturn Statements submitted to the DfES from 199899 onwards and the ODPM's R01 statement before then. 200203 data is subject to change by the LEA.
2. The cost of home to school/college transport includes the cost of public transport, contract hire or the vehicles in transporting pupils/students to school/college under section 509 of the Education Act 1996.
3. Figures include all expenditure by the local authority on transport. This includes the pre-primary, education out of school and continuing education sectors.
4. Some substantial variations between years have occurred. We are not able to offer a detailed analysis for the reasons because LEAs do not offer a breakdown of inconsistencies across the years.
5. ConfED/DfES conducted a joint survey in 2003 of LEA transport expenditure and policies. The data should enable LEAs to compare their policies and costs with other similar authorities.
