@Ridermeister @themathsbazaar @KerryDunton Yes, 2021 GCSEs were TAGs. But it will be the latest data currently available through the NPD for all pupils in state schools with both GCSE and A Level results. Edexcel being the later 2023 GCSE cohort that were based on exams. So neither is ideal! But interesting to compare!

@themathsbazaar @Ridermeister @KerryDunton have you noted figure 2.2 (page 21) in the Observatory's 2025 Review?

The Observatory for Mathematical Education have released their RoME 2025 report. A treasure trove of data, including national statistics, trend analysis and Primary/Secondary/Advanced longitudinal cohort study analysis. Lots to digest!

A new report on 'Motivations of Year 12 students for choosing A level Mathematics', shows that students chose the subject at A level to benefit their future study and work, even though most don't plan to actually go on to study 'maths'!

@MathsNot You've set such high standards to date, but you're going to have to lower the level for tomorrow... #QalificationsPun

Level 3 results day - JCQ data. A positive story that might get lost in the A Level headlines - Core Maths numbers show a large increase after entries being static for the past 5 years. Over 15k now take the subject and more females, than males.
