  "Children assessed at the end of the reception year against the 17 early learning goals: a good level of development where a child is at the expected level in the goals of the prime areas and of literacy and mathematics, as the DfE defines it.",
  "The DfE gives these figures for England's 153 councils with education and children's services duties (its unitary, metropolitan and London councils and its 21 counties), not for districts.",
  "The DfE's methodology: “Percentages and averages are unrounded in the underlying data sets” The DfE gives them to six decimal places, and the hub keeps them so."
