Data subject to sampling error and has been averaged over three years to reduce its significance.
Note: LEA's vary in the extent to which post 16 education provision is centred in schools, tertiary or other FE colleges. In this context Richmond, for example, with no school sixth forms, has no leavers intending to pursue university degree courses.
