Government Advice

School and college performance data for the 2022/2023 academic year should be used with caution:

• Performance measures based on qualification results from 2022/23 cannot be directly compared to measures from 2021/22. This is because a different grading approach was used in 2021/22, to take account of the impact of the pandemic.
• In 2022/23, qualifications returned to pre-pandemic standards. Performance measures that are based on qualification results will reflect this and cannot be directly compared to measures from 2021/2022.
• There are ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected individual schools, colleges and students differently.
