| Abstract: | This report looks at the provision of General Certificate of Secondary Education (GCSE) subjects in England in 2024. Provision in a subject is defined as the number or percentage of schools with at least one student taking the subject. This report was produced using publicly available data from the Department for Education's (DfE) "Find and compare schools in England" service. The dataset consisted of Key Stage 4 (KS4) results in all subjects provided by each school in England. Other school information, such as schools' sex composition, admissions policy, and the number of disadvantaged pupils at the end of KS4, was also available. The report presents only the provision of GCSE subjects in schools with students taking GCSEs in 2024. Only GCSEs (9-1) full course (both single and double award) were counted for this report. Schools with at least 10 students taking GCSEs were included in the analysis. In this report, the level of provision is presented by the following school classifications: (1) school type; (2) school attainment; (3) school deprivation level; (4) school sex composition; and (5) school size. |
