Footnotes
- Other education destinations include independent schools, specialist post-16 institutions, special schools and education combination destination.
- This includes pupils who were captured in the source data and had some participation in the academic year but did not complete the required six months sustained participation.
- The student was not found to have any participation in education, apprenticeship or employment nor recorded as receiving out-of-work benefits at any point in the year. Possible reasons for this could be that the pupil was living, working or studying abroad or was attending a Scottish or Welsh college or school.
