The data in the above table relates only to the cohort of 18 year-olds; the age in the table (15, 16, 17, 18) are the age on their last day at school.
Ethnicity is multiple response, that is, students who affiliated in more than one ethnic group have been counted in each ethnic group. Students are only counted once in the total, therefore, the ethnic groups may not sum to the total.
