-   only; 2021/22 results exist and must be loaded (school-level rows

+   DfE stated it would not publish KS2 2021/22 in performance tables
+   (verified 2026-07-12 against EES, the CSP download service, and
+   DfE release notes; see `# TASK 6 VERIFICATION` in

 2. **Report-card summaries** count graded areas only — safeguarding is
    a separate binary flag, never included in rating counts.
 3. **Admissions:** use the real preference-breakdown fields from
