* 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.
