Please provide information about the average salaries for employees with a grade C in maths or higher at GCSE compared to those without a C in maths at GCSE for the last ten years.

We said

Thank you for your request.

We publish information regarding earnings and qualification level from the Labour Force Survey (LFS), which is a survey of households in the UK. Unfortunately, however, we do not hold estimates for earnings broken down by subject at GCSE level.

Estimates of average annual gross wage by age and highest qualification can be found in the following link: https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/employmentandemployeetypes/articles/graduatesintheuklabourmarket/2017.

If you would like further information, we provide a bespoke service for LFS analysis that is not already published on our website. Special extracts and tabulations of data are available to order (subject to legal frameworks, disclosure control, resources and agreements of costs, where appropriate). Such enquiries should be made to the customer services team of ONS's Social Surveys Division (socialsurveys@ons.gov.uk).

As this information is already available to you via this route, we consider that S21(1) applies to this request and the information does not have to be supplied under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. S.21(1) is an absolute exemption and no consideration of the public interest test needs to be applied.

Another route would be to access the anonymised LFS datasets at the UK Data Service if you are able to run your own analysis. Details of how to access the data can be found here: http://ukdataservice.ac.uk/get-data/how-to-access.aspx

Data can be downloaded free of charge for non-commercial purposes but if charges are applicable, you will be notified during the ordering process. Further details are available at the following links:
