(1) Pupil numbers as at September 2008.
(2) Exclusion rates per 1,000 pupils calculated using an average for 2007/08 and 2008/09, the total figure will not therefore match with the total rate figure presented in table 2. Exclusions where data could not be matched to census ethnicity information were not included in the calculation of the overall rate. See background note 9.
