“DPH” indicates suppression for data protection reasons. This is applied where the numerator is two or less, or differs from the denominator by no more than two students.

Transparency 2026 information: Rounding and suppression

The data contained in the first three accordions are as follows:

The data has been rounded as follows:

  • a. Denominators or headcounts have been rounded to the nearest 10.
  • b. Percentages been rounded to the nearest 0.1.

Any data point that is not reportable will be replaced with a symbol to indicate why, applied according to the following hierarchical order:

  • [none]: where there are no students in the population (or two or fewer).
  • [low]: Low numbers of students, where there are more than two but fewer than 23 students in the denominator.
  • [DPL]: Data protection for low numerators, where data has been suppressed for data protection reasons. The code [DPL] has been used to indicate where the data has been suppressed due to a numerator or headcount that is less than or equal to two, meaning that the percentage will take on a value close to 0 per cent.
  • [DPH]: Data protection for high numerators, where data has been suppressed for data protection reasons. For the percentages, the code [DPH] has been used to indicate where data has been suppressed due to a numerator that is greater than two but is within two of the denominator.
