Population estimates are given as at 30 June, with age as at last birthday. They may therefore not be consistent with a count as at 1 January. |

This includes pupils in all local authority maintained mainstream schools. It excludes independent schools and special schools, as some independent schools are special schools – this information is not collected. |
5 How many pupils are enrolled and educated in mainstream classes with their non-disabled peers for at least 80% of the time in: | 120,619 | M | Annual School Census, 2014 | 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. The estimate for ISCED 1 is an undercount. No data is collected on the type of class for ISCED level 2. |
