* Excluding other subjects listed here.
  From 2004 Other Modern languages excludes Irish in addition to French, German, Spanish  
  and Welsh.

  In 2010 a syllabus previously entitled "Environmental Science" was renamed "Environmental Studies" 
  and moved from Sciences to All Other Subjects. This explains the drop in candidate numbers for 
  Sciences and increase in numbers for All Other Subjects.
