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.
The year indicates the year when the student left school.
The region refers to the area where the student attended school.
Exclusions
International fee-paying students are excluded. Alternative education students are included in National totals, but, not in the school they are funded from.
