Transparency 2026 information: Rounding and suppression

The data contained in the tables have been rounded and suppressed as follows:

The data has been rounded as follows:

  • Denominators or headcounts have been rounded to the nearest 10.
  • Percentages been rounded to the nearest 0.1.


Any data point that is not reportable will be replaced with a symbol to indicate why, applied according to the following hierarchical order:

[none]: where there are no students in the population (or two or fewer).

[low]: Low numbers of students, where there are more than two but fewer than 23 students in the denominator.

[DPL]: Data protection for low numerators, where data has been suppressed for data protection reasons. The code [DPL] has been used to indicate where the data has been suppressed due to a numerator or headcount that is less than or equal to two, meaning that the percentage will take on a value close to 0 per cent.

[DPH]: Data protection for high numerators, where data has been suppressed for data protection reasons. For the percentages, the code [DPH] has been used to indicate where data has been suppressed due to a numerator that is greater than two but is within two of the denominator.
