Notes:

^aNumber codes represent the level of attainment where the test has been taken, with level 2 representing the lowest level and level 6 the highest; B, working below the level assessed by test (not entered for test); N, no level awarded (entered).

^bAll school types include maintained, independent and special schools (Department for Education (DfE) ²⁰⁰⁰).

^cFor the SLI sample, percentages were calculated using the sum of pupils with codes B-6 as the denominator, i.e. excluding those who were absent or disapplied from the test. For all schools in England (DfE, 2000), the percentage of pupils for each grade reported was based on a denominator including those who were absent or disapplied, which consisted of about 2% of all pupils in England. There was insufficient information available that would allow for these percentages to be recalculated in the same way as for the SLI sample.
