The table shows the number of pupils who achieved each level in maths and English. There are seven levels in total, with Level 5 being the lowest and Level 7 being the highest.
To find out how many pupils had a higher level in maths than in English, we need to look at the cells where the maths level is higher than the English level. These are the cells in the top left and bottom right corners of the table.
In the top left corner, there is 1 pupil in Level 5 maths and Level 6 English, and 1 pupil in Level 6 maths and Level 5 English.
In the bottom right corner, there are 2 pupils in Level 7 maths and Level 6 English, and 6 pupils in Level 8 maths and Level 7 English.
In total, there are 1 + 1 + 2 + 6 = 10 pupils who had a higher level in maths than in English.
