Due to the changes in assessment methodology, years prior to 2015/16 are not comparable to 2015/16 and 2016/17.

[1] Until 2015/16, the department published the number of pupils achieving levels 2 or above, 3 or above (key stage 1), 4 or above and 5 or above (key stage 2). In 2015/16, levels were no longer used and the department began reporting the number of pupils reaching the expected standard and working at greater depth (key stage 1) or achieving a higher score (key stage 2).

[2] Lewisham, Deptford constituency had its boundaries changed in 2010, therefore it is not possible to compare figures from before 2010, as they will cover a different geographical area. Figures are provided from the 2010/11 academic year.

[3] All years' figures are based on final data, except 2016/17 which is based on revised data.
