The way that the Welsh Government reports on qualifications information is changing to support 14-16 learning under the Curriculum for Wales. In January 2025, the Welsh Government consulted on its overall approach to using data and information in the school system and a proposed 14 to 16 Learner Entitlement Indicators Framework. The consultation closed on 14 March 2025 but can still be accessed here (for those working within the school system) and here (for the general public). A summary of responses will be published in summer 2025.
As qualification outcomes will not be converted into point scores as part of these future arrangements, the ‘Performance Information’ on this page and in QiW exports is now only available for reporting years up to reporting year 2026. After this, the ‘Welsh Government Performance and Curriculum Information’ button and related information in exports will no longer be available, as we move to the new reporting arrangements. However, historic information will be available as a separate export for audit purposes. Any queries should be directed to ims@gov.wales.
