Age distribution of primary students in NSW government schools (2011-2023)

Data Notes:

Data is collected mid-year (census date: first Friday in August) from NSW government schools as per National Schools Statistics Collection (NSCC).
All primary school students are considered to be full-time.
From 2020, students in mainstream support classes are reported by their underlying grade of enrolment. Previously, students in support classes in mainstream schools were not included.
Students in schools for specific purposes (SSPs) are not included.
Students in distance education and Opportunity Classes (OC) are included with their appropriate grade levels.
In most scholastic years there are a small number of students in atypical age groups. These have been included in the nearest band. This is indicated with an asterisk. As a result, the sum of each row may not equal the totals reported. See the relevant tables in the Statistical Bulletin for more details.
