Which school years are most likely to be repeated?
Answer
Based on data for the past five years, the table below looks at which school years are most likely to be repeated.

Index values show how likely each school year was to be repeated - with index 100 representing the average rate.
Years scoring over 100 have above average repeat rates (200 = twice the average).
Years scoring under 100 have below average rates (50 = half the average).
Repeat rates are highest in P3-P5. Allowing for the small sample sizes, the pattern is the same for girls and boys.
There is a secondary peak in S3 & S4. So far, only girls have had to repeat these year — even though only slightly more girls than boys have reached that stage.
