What the Office for Statistics Regulation wrote

“While we understand the basis of this policy, when providing public statements underpinned by analysis and data from Performance Tables, we would encourage you to consider how to make the analysis and data more accessible to non-expert members of the public.”

“More broadly, I would welcome a further discussion with DfE on processes around high profile consultations of this nature, including opportunities to enhance the accessibility of the data in the Performance Tables or other analytical tools used to underpin public statements.”
