It is not possible to identify pupils entered for Mandarin Chinese from data held by the Department. The Department does hold information on the number of entries into GCSE Chinese which includes Mandarin Chinese and other Chinese subjects, including Cantonese.

The time series for the number of GCSE entries in Italian, Modern Greek, Modern Hebrew, Bengali, Chinese, Turkish, Urdu, Polish and Panjabi for the last 5 years in England is given in the table below.

1. Discounting has been applied where pupils have taken the same subject more than once and only one entry is counted in these circumstances. Only the first entry is counted, in all subjects, in line with the early entry guidance (see SFR main text).

2. 2015/16 figures are provisional, all other years are final.

3. In 2013/14, two major reforms were implemented which affect the calculation of key stage 4 performance measures data: i) Professor Alison Wolf’s Review of Vocational Education recommendations which: restrict the qualifications counted; prevent any qualification from counting as larger than one GCSE; and cap the number of non-GCSEs included in performance measures at two per pupil, and ii) an early entry policy to only count a pupil’s first attempt at a qualification, in subjects counted in the English Baccalaureate.

4. In 2014/15 and 2015/16, early entry policy, under which only a pupil’s first attempt at a qualification is counted in performance measures, is extended to all subjects (see SFR main text).

The time series for the number of AS and A level entries in Italian, Modern Greek, Modern Hebrew, Bengali, Chinese, Turkish, Urdu, Polish and Panjabi for the last 5 years in England is given in the table below.

AS level language subjects

AS level entries	2012	2013	2014	2015	2016

Notes:

1. Covers examination results of students aged 16, 17 or 18 at the start of the academic year, i.e. 31 August 2015.

2. Figures for 2016 are provisional, figures for all other years are final.

3. From 2016, for A level, accountability purposes results are allocated to the provider where the student has enrolled to take their main programme of study, recorded in the school census or Individual Learner Record (ILR). The ILR has been used as additional data source from 2016, and this leads to very small differences in the student exam results included.
