* The year group responses for your school are taken
exactly as entered in the questionnaires. In some cases a
small percentage may show up in year groups beyond those
you would expect.
Additionally, where parents indicated they had children in
more than one year group, the year group of the eldest
child has been used for the purposes of this table.

* Percentages are presented throughout the report. Where the number of

respondents is small, figures need to be treated with a degree of caution
in order not to misinterpret the findings.

* Year groups above year 6 have been included so that middle schools
could use one parent questionnaire with all of their parents.
