previous years.

(1) - Differences in resit opportunities may affect outcomes in jurisdictions. (See the explanatory notes for differences between jurisdictions).

(2) - These titles cover a range of related subjects.

(3) - In Wales candidates can take either GCSE Mathematics or GCSE Mathematics Numeracy and the great majority take both.

(4) - Science: Double Award counts as two GCSE entries. These entries, therefore, are counted twice both in the subject and in the overall figures.

(5) - Other modern languages includes all languages except: French, German, Irish, Spanish and Welsh.

(6) - Other sciences includes all sciences except: Biology, Chemistry, Physics and Science.

(7) - Other technology includes technology-based subjects other than Design & Technology.

(8) - Data suppression applied if a subject or gender breakdown had fewer than 10 candidates entered but counted in 'All Subjects'. (See explanatory notes).
