Footnotes
- All populations are rounded to the nearest 5 full-person equivalent (FPE) individuals
- Employment outcome percentages are rounded to the nearest 0.1%
- Earnings figures are rounded to the nearest £100
- Prior attainment defined by UCAS points achieved at A level.
- POLAR quintile ranges from 1 (most disadvantaged) to 5 (most advantaged)
- In contrast to the UK domicile section of this release, which looks at matched graduates only, employment and/or further study outcomes for international graduates are calculated as a percentage of all graduates, excluding only those identified by DWP/HMRC or SLC as permanently living overseas.
- c = data has been supressed due to small numbers. z = there is no result (N/A)
- In the 2020/21 tax year, 1 YAG (one year after graduation) relates to those who graduated in the 2018/19 academic year, 3 YAG to graduates in 2016/17, 5 YAG to graduates in 2014/15 and 10 YAG to graduates in 2009/10.
- Free school meals (FSM) eligibility is based on the school census records at any point between school years 6 and 11.
