1. Covers independent schools and a small number of grant-aided and opted-out schools.
2. Schools which have both primary and secondary departments are counted under both categories.
3. A school is defined as providing drug education to each pupil if every pupil who stays at that school 'from start to finish' will receive drug education at some point.
4. A school is defined as providing drug education to each pupil which provides 'progression and continuity in their learning as they move through the school' if every pupil would receive drug education at several stages during their time at a particular school.
5. A school which provides drug education in line with current national advice (see Notes for details) must cover all of the criteria listed in the table.
.. Not applicable. Although schools were asked in 1999-2000 whether they provided drug education in line with national advice, this was not defined and validated in the same way.
