• Covers all 2021/22 school leavers from publicly funded mainstream schools.

This release also contains Experimental Statistics on Foundation Apprenticeships, and a wider attainment measure incorporating all Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) qualifications.

The time period covered by these statistics means that the data for some years will be affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Care should be taken when comparing data over time. Further information can be found in Chapter 1.
