Notes:

1. Figures are full-year equivalent for secondary schools. There are currently no grant-maintained primary schools in operation.

2. Apportionment of costs between school and local education authority level will have changed in some local education authorities between 1989–90 and 1990–91 as a result of the introduction on 1 April 1990 of financial delegation schemes for local management of schools.

3. Figures for Avon, Brent and Hammersmith have yet to be finalised.
