Key Stage 4

This relates to 16 year olds.

Published data
A lot of the data currently available for North Yorkshire  is for children with ASD and a statement, and there is little data for children with ASD on School Action or School Action Plus. This is a limitation caused by the small number of eligible children. The government does not publish the data where numbers are very small in order that individual children cannot be identified. The data refers to children in maintained schools only.

Source of data
Most of this information is published by The Department of Education here. For an analysis of the data, please view the blog articles on the home page.
