Learner data for school sixth forms are currently not collected on the LSC’s ILR, so success rates can not be calculated. However, statisticians in the Department and the LSC are working to collect data which will enable the calculation of these success rates; a date for publication has not yet been agreed.
Success rates are not calculated for ACL.
