This update relates to data for the 2023/24 Academic Year, which is the most recent available data, and the update applies to Primary, Secondary, and Post-16 Phase institutions.

Attainment data not included in the 2023/24 release:

There are Key Stage 2 attainment fields which have not been updated due to their omission from the current (2023/24) and next (2024/25) attainment dataset releases. The Department for Education (DfE) states their reason for omission as “KS2 pupils in these years did not have KS1 assessments due to the COVID-19 pandemic”. The fields impacted are as follows:

• Reading Progress Measure
• Maths Progress Measure
• Grammar, punctuation and spelling Progress Measure

For more information regarding the 2023/24 release, please see the DfE’s website.

For further information regarding which fields are updated for each country’s update, please see the Institution Profile Source resource, which can be accessed via the ellipsis (overflow menu) on any Institution record (members only) by selecting the option to ‘Download Source File’.
