Provision of GCSE Subjects 2016. Statistics Report Series No. 115
Gill, Tim
Cambridge Assessment
This report looks at the provision of General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) and International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) subjects in England in 2016. In this report the level of provision is presented by different school classifications: school type, school attainment, school gender, school size and school deprivation level. However, it should be noted that the analysis is at the simplest level and takes no account of interactions between these classifications. The data for these analyses were taken from the National Pupil Database (NPD). This is a database of results for all students in all subjects in schools and colleges in England. This report presents only the provision of GCSE subjects in schools with pupils taking GCSEs in 2016. Provision of applied and short course GCSEs was not investigated. Only accredited IGCSEs were counted in this report as non-accredited versions of these qualifications are no longer be included in the NPD extract. [For "Provision of GCSE Subjects 2015.
