This freeze was produced close to the end of the February after the academic year in question finishes.

Statistical quality

Statisticians within the Welsh Government review the data and query any anomalies with the LLWR data collection team and, where relevant, with learning providers before tables are published.

There is a data quality issue in some cases, as a some learners have been recorded as being unable to speak Welsh but are shown as undertaking learning activities through the medium of Welsh.

The LLWR data underlying this table are intended to be final, for non-funding purposes.
