Note: Caution should be taken when drawing any conclusions relating to changes in student or school performance compared to other years.
It is anticipated that CCEA’s stepped approach back to pre-pandemic awarding standards, and the provision of Advance Information for qualifications in 2022/23, will have affected figures for this year.
In addition, data from 14 schools (7%) were not made available due to ongoing Action Short of Strike (ASOS) in schools.
Any changes in attainment levels since 2018/19 may be due to a combination of these factors rather than reflecting a change in underlying performance.
Revised February 2024: Table 14 and Table 15 updated.
