However, it is not possible to give a breakdown of those in ISCED 1 or 2. There are many small schools in Wales where pupils of multiple ages are taught in the same class. It is not possible to calculate ISCED level 1 accurately as the pupils aged under 5 cannot be split out. No data is collected on the type of class for ISCED level 2.
