What it counts: Government school-level performance-table population and qualifications, with exact printed definitions.
Note: Original column descriptions are retained as measure names. GCE A/AS and later Level 3-equivalent point scores use changing government rules and scales; they are not A-level-only grade distributions. Pupil thresholds are not entry-grade shares. Blanks and suppression symbols remain unresolved, never zero. Identity: {'LEA sort code within region': 2, 'LEA number': 825, 'Estab Number': 6018, 'Institution postcode': 'HP11 1PE'}. This observation belongs to the 1998 column of the 2000 publication. Later-source versions are kept separately; no revision winner or cross-scale trend is presumed.
