Footnotes to the tables

1. The figures for total schools and pupils are estimates derived from the Department for Education's January 1993 schools' census.

2. The figures for numbers of pupils are based on a head count of full-time and part-time pupils.

3. The numbers of grant-maintained schools are the totals operating in January 1994.

4. Table A—maintained primary sector—and Table B—maintained secondary sector—exclude figures for special and independent schools. The data on these schools held by the Department cannot be divided into "primary" and "secondary".

5. Table A and Table B include middle deemed primary and middle deemed secondary schools respectively.

6. Table B excludes sixth form colleges as these institutions are now part of the further education sector.

7. Table C includes maintained nursery, primary, secondary and special schools, and non-maintained special and independent schools.
