1. Main facts and figures
-
in 2015/16, there were 540,689 pupils in key stage 4 at state-funded mainstream schools in England, and ethnicity was known for 534,918 (99%) of them
-
78% were White, 9% were Asian, 5% were Black, 4% were Mixed, 1.5% came from the Other ethnic group and 0.4% were Chinese
-
Chinese, Asian and Mixed pupils on average scored higher than the national average for Attainment 8
-
White pupils and Black pupils scored at or just below the national average for Attainment 8
-
Gypsy/Roma and Irish Traveller pupils had the lowest average score for Attainment 8
Things you need to know
Please be aware that some of the statistics quoted here for some ethnic groups are based on very small numbers of pupils (for example, only 130 Chinese children were eligible for free school meals in 2015/16) and are highly variable over time.
Because the results for Chinese pupils are based on a very small number, the average score for this group can be heavily influenced by one pupil either performing exceptionally, or getting a very low score.
Attainment is lower for children from a Traveller of Irish heritage background – however, there were only 122 pupils from this background in key stage 4 in 2015/16. This was a much smaller number than for other ethnic groups (for example, there were 20,434 Pakistani pupils in key stage 4). Therefore, data comparisons between Traveller of Irish Heritage pupils and other ethnic groups may be unreliable.
The ethnicity of 1.1% of pupils (5,771) is not known. This includes pupils whose ethnicity was not surveyed, pupils who refused to be surveyed, and pupils whose ethnicity could not be determined.
The Department of Education (DfE) has excluded, or ‘suppressed’, very small numbers (for example, values of 1 or 2, a percentage based on 1 or 2 pupils who achieved, or 0, 1 or 2 pupils who did not achieve a particular level).
This is because, where the size of the ethnic group population is small enough that an individual’s identity could be revealed, information is suppressed to preserve confidentiality. This is consistent with DfE’s statistical policy statement on confidentiality (PDF opens in a new window or tab) (PDF).
The Attainment 8 measure only includes qualifications which count towards the secondary performance tables.
Schools that offer unapproved qualifications, such as unregulated international GCSEs, will not have these qualifications counted in the performance tables. Achievements in these qualifications by pupils at such schools are not reflected in this data.
This data therefore represents the performance of schools and pupils in qualifications which count in the performance tables, rather than all qualifications taken by pupils. The difference between the figures for all schools and state-funded mainstream schools is mostly due to the impact of the unregulated international GCSEs taken in independent schools.
Data for some Muslim and Sikh schools was not included in the statistics for faith schools, because the small numbers of pupils make it impossible to draw meaningful conclusions about their attainment. Data for faith schools is also only provided for pupils in state-funded mainstream schools.
Schools can ask for a pupil to be removed from their performance results if the pupil:
- arrived recently from overseas their first language isn’t English
- was admitted following a permanent exclusion from another school
- is not at the end of key stage 4
- has left England to live abroad
- has died
Pupils removed from a school’s performance results may still be included in the national figures.
What the data measures
This data measures how children perform in exams for 8 GCSE-level qualifications, referred to by the Department of Education (DfE) as ‘Attainment 8’.
The data covers the academic year 2015/16 (September 2015 to July 2016).
Key stage 4 covers school years 10 and 11, when children are aged 14 to 16.
Attainment 8 is one of two ways of measuring how well children do in key stage 4, brought in by DfE in 2016. The other is ‘Progress 8’. (You can see an analysis of Progress 8 scores broken down by ethnicity.)
The 8 subjects which make up Attainment 8 include English and Maths, which are both ‘double-weighted’, meaning they are given twice the importance of other subjects.
Of the remaining 6 subjects, 3 must come from qualifications that go towards the English Baccalaureate (EBacc), and 3 can be either EBacc subjects, GCSE subjects, or technical qualifications from a list approved by the Department of Education.
Each individual grade a pupil achieves is assigned a point score, which is then used to calculate their total Attainment 8 score.
To calculate the national average for Attainment 8, DfE adds together all the Attainment 8 scores given to individual children, and divides them by the total number of pupils in key stage 4.
The ethnic categories used in this data
This data uses categories from the Department for Education’s school census, which is broadly based on the 2001 national Census, with 3 exceptions:
- Traveller of Irish Heritage and Gypsy/Roma children have been separated into 2 categories
- Sri Lankan has been added to the Asian/Asian British group but is not reported separately
- Chinese pupils have been assigned a separate category
These changes were made after consultations with local authorities and lobby groups.
The categories in the school census are as follows:
White:
- White British
- White Irish
- Traveller of Irish Heritage
- Gypsy/Roma
- Other White
Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups:
- White and Black Caribbean
- White and Black African
- White and Asian
- Other Mixed background
Asian/Asian British:
- Indian
- Pakistani
- Bangladeshi
- Sri Lankan
- Other Asian background
Black/African/Caribbean/Black British:
- Black African
- Black Caribbean
- Other Black background
- Chinese
- Other ethnic group
Information is provided for both detailed and broad ethnic groups where possible and when the data is available.
The 6 broad categories used are as follows:
- Asian/Asian British
- Black/African/Caribbean/Black British
- Chinese
- Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups
- White
- Other ethnic group
However, local authority data is only provided for 5 broad ethnic groups. Information about the specific ethnic categories is excluded to preserve confidentiality and ensure individuals cannot be identified. Information about the Other ethnic group is not given because DfE does not publish data for this group at the local authority level.
The 5 broad categories are as follows:
- Asian/Asian British
- Black/African/Caribbean/Black British
- Chinese
- Mixed/Multiple ethnic groups
- White

Summary of GCSE results (‘Attainment 8’) for children aged 14 to 16 (key stage 4) GCSE-level exam results (‘Attainment 8’) by ethnicity and eligibility for free school meals (FSM) Summary
Eligibility for free school meals (FSM) is used as an indicator of deprivation by the Department for Education. For more about who qualifies for FSM, see the Methodology section.
This data shows that:
-
13% of pupils (72,528 children) in key stage 4 were eligible for free school meals (FSM) in 2015/16
-
25% of pupils from the Other ethnic background, 23% of Black pupils, 19% of pupils from a Mixed race background, 18% of Asian pupils, 12% of White pupils and 6% of Chinese pupils were eligible for FSM
-
pupils eligible for FSM had an average Attainment 8 score of 39, which is 13 points lower than the average for all other children
-
the average score was lower for pupils eligible for FSM across all ethnicities, with the exception of Gypsy/Roma children, where there was little difference between those eligible and those not eligible
-
Chinese pupils eligible for FSM had the highest score (59) in this group of pupils, and White pupils eligible for FSM the lowest (37)
-
White Irish pupils saw the biggest gap between the 2 groups, at 17 points, with FSM-eligible pupils scoring an average of 40 and those non-eligible scoring 57
-
please be aware that the statistics quoted here for some ethnic groups are based on very small numbers of pupils (for example, only 130 Chinese children were eligible for FSM in 2015/16) and are highly variable over time

Black Caribbean pupils eligible for FSM showed the biggest difference in average score between girls and boys, with girls scoring an average of 8 points more
-
pupils from a Traveller of Irish Heritage background also showed very little difference in average score between girls and boys who were eligible for FSM, but this finding was based on very small numbers (41 boys and 32 girls), making it hard to draw any firm conclusions
-
apart from Travellers of Irish Heritage, the smallest difference in average score between girls and boys was found among Bangladeshi, Asian other, White Irish and Gypsy/Roma pupils eligible for FSM, with girls scoring 3 points more
