Transparency Information text
As a higher education provider registered with the Office for Students, Central is required to publish particular information about our student body in the spirit of transparency.
The information published on this page shows:
- The number of students who attained a particular degree or other academic award, or a particular level of such an award, on completion of their course with us.
It shows these numbers by reference to:
- The gender of the individuals to which they relate
- Their ethnicity
- Their socioeconomic background.
As a small institution, you will note that much of this information has been suppressed for data protection purposes – so individual percentage values have been replaced with ‘N’ or ‘DP’. The complete dataset explains the rounding and suppression methodology employed by the Office for Students.
Central is totally committed to equality, diversity and inclusion, and understands that its mission to shape the future of theatre and performance in the UK and beyond is contingent on a diverse and inclusive student and staff body. The School’s Access and Participation Plan expresses its ambition to raise aspiration and attainment, and to encourage progression to higher education for those learners who are currently under-represented.

Transparency 2023 information: Rounding and suppression
The data contained in the tables in this workbook have been rounded and suppressed as follows:
Numerators and denominators have been rounded to the nearest 10. Where the numerator or denominator rounds to 20 or less, the data are suppressed with an “N”.
Percentages are rounded according to the smallest, unsuppressed denominator in a given mode and characteristic. If the denominator rounds to:
- 50 or less: percentages are rounded to 5%
- 1000 or less: percentages are rounded to 1%
- More than 1000: percentages are rounded to 0.1%
“N/A” is displayed where there is no provision in a given mode or level.
“DP” indicates suppression for data protection reasons. This is applied where the numerator is two or less, or differs from the denominator by no more than two students.
