Transparency 2026 information: Rounding and suppression
The data contained in the tables in this workbook have been rounded and suppressed as follows:
- Numerators and denominators have been rounded to the nearest 10.
- Percentages have been rounded to the nearest 0.1.
Any data point that is not reportable has been replaced with a symbol to indicate why, applied accordingly to the following hierarchical order:
- None - where there are no students in the population (or two or fewer).
- Low - Low numbers of students, where there are more than two but fewer than 23 students in the denominator.
- DPL - Data protection for low numerators, where data has been suppressed for data protection reasons. The code [DPL] has been used to indicate where the data has been suppressed due to a numerator or headcount that is less than or equal to two, meaning that the percentage will take on a value close to 0 per cent.
- DPH - Data protection for high numerators, where data has been suppressed for data protection reasons. For the percentages, the code [DPH] has been used to indicate where data has been suppressed due to a numerator that is greater than two but is within two of the denominator.
