**Data Notes:** * The classifications used in the table are not based on the 2014 actual enrolments collected through the mid-year census. The classifications are based on the staffing entitlement classifications reviewed periodically by the Classification Review Committee. * All enrolments are reported in full-time equivalent units (FTEs) and include full-time and part-time students. * Schools for specific purposes (SSPs) are for students with specific needs. Students in SSPs are reported according to the type of specific need rather than by their year of schooling. Students with multiple disabilities are reported according to their main disability. * For further information about individual schools' classifications, visit the NSW government schools master dataset. **Data Source:** * [Schools and Students: 2014 Statistical Bulletin](https://www.cese.nsw.gov.au/images/stories/PDF/2014_Statistical_Bulletin_Sept2015_compressed.pdf "Schools and Students: 2014 Statistical Bulletin").

Enrolments in primary departments and secondary departments are included with the appropriate student data. * Schools for specific purposes (SSPs) are for students with specific needs. Students in SSPs are reported according to the type of specific need rather than by their year of schooling.
