(1) Includes solely registered pupils and those with other providers.
(2) Pupils of compulsory school age and above are classified according to ethnic group.
(3) The categories for recording ethnicity data in Pupil Referral Units changed in 2005 to reflect the categories used in the 2001 National population census. There is no direct mapping between this set of codes and those used in previous years which will result in some discontinuity in time series data.
(4) Information was not sought or refused
(5) All pupils of compulsory school age and above.
(6) Less than 5 pupils
Note:
Numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10. There may be discrepancies between totals and the sum of component parts.
