Please note: Independent schools frequently offer IGCSEs or other qualifications alongside or as an alternative to GCSE. The DfE does not record performance data for these exams so independent school GCSE data is frequently misleading; parents should check the results with the schools.

In addition some pupils may have medical or other additional needs that cannot be met in their current school. Pupils are referred to the centre by the LEA.
