Notes:
Please note that 2004 and 2005 results are not directly comparable to results for 2003. This is to reflect the fact that:
1. in 2004 a trial took place in some Local Authorities (LAs), In which only teacher assessments were submitted to the Department The remaining (non-trial) LAs continued to submit both test/task results and teacher assessments.
2. in 2005, for the first time, all schools were only required to report teacher assessments to the Department.
