Abstract: This report looks at the provision of A level 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. It could be argued that this may not cover all 'provision', since schools might offer to provide a subject but none of their students wants to study it. The tables presented in this report cannot explain why schools do not offer a particular subject. For example, it may be that there is not enough demand for it from students to make it worthwhile, or it may be that there is a lack of teachers with the required experience. This report was produced using publicly available data from the Department for Education's (DfE) "Find and compare schools in England" service.
