Guide to school and area statistics
A short key for the statistics shown on this page for BB1. We have not listed house prices, broadband, green space or similar extras here unless they appear in the neighbourhood and area context section.
School listings
What you see on each school card
Only fields that appear on at least one school on this page are listed. Hover a stat row when you see a question mark for a one-line reminder.
- School type
- How the school is run — for example academy, council-maintained, voluntary aided or free school.
- Trust
- The multi-academy trust or sponsor running the school, where it is an academy.
- Age range
- Year groups on roll — for example 4–11 for primary, or 11–18 with sixth form.
- Ofsted
- Latest published inspection grade, inspection date where we have it, and a link to the school’s page on the Ofsted reports site.
- Straight-line miles
- Distance as the crow flies from your home postcode when you have entered one, otherwise from the middle of this district. Not walking or driving time.
- Walking, cycling and park-and-stride hints
- Rough bands from straight-line miles: about 1 mile or less may suit walking; about 1–2.5 miles we show cycling and park-and-stride; over about 2.5 miles park-and-stride only. Not checked routes or journey times.
- Pupils
- Number of pupils on roll from published school census data.
- Free school meals
- Share of pupils eligible for free school meals.
- SEN
- Share of pupils with SEN support or an Education, Health and Care plan.
- SEN provision
- Extra on-site support such as a resourced provision or SEN unit.
- English as an additional language (EAL)
- Share of pupils whose first language is not English, where recorded.
- Attendance
- Share of possible sessions attended. Higher is better.
- Persistent absence
- Share of pupils missing 10% or more of sessions. Lower is better.
- Admissions pressure
- Indicative label from recent applications versus places — oversubscribed, about average or often has spaces.
- Attainment
- Primary: share meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (Key Stage 2). Secondary: Progress 8. A dash means nothing was published for that school.
- Attainment vs local
- Compares each school’s headline to others of the same phase on this page — above, below or about average for the district.
Area overview
What you see in the area overview
Matches the two blocks above — postcode district first, then the wider council area.
- Area rating (stars)
- A simple 1–5 guide from deprivation around schools here — not Ofsted grades. Recorded crime can nudge the score when we have it; estimates do not.
- Schools in district
- How many schools are in this postcode district, split by primary and secondary.
- Average attendance
- Mean attendance across schools here with published absence data.
- Average free school meals
- Mean free school meals eligibility across schools here with published data.
- Average SEN
- Mean SEN percentage across schools here with published data.
- Average EAL
- Mean English as an additional language percentage where published.
- Deprivation
- How deprived neighbourhoods around schools here are compared with England (official deprivation index, shown as bands 1–10 where 1 is most deprived and 10 is least deprived).
- Average house price
- Typical sold prices for this postcode district where we have them — street-by-street prices vary.
- Flood risk
- Indicative summary — check Environment Agency maps for a specific address.
- Broadband
- General picture of speeds and availability — check with providers at your address.
- Green space
- Brief summary of access to parks or countryside nearby.
- Council tax
- Typical band for the area — your exact band depends on the property.
- Your home neighbourhood
- When you enter your full home postcode, we compare deprivation for your small area with the typical area around schools in this district.
- Population, households, ethnicity and age
- Census figures for the local council area — not your street or this postcode district alone.
- Crime figures
- Often a rough council-wide estimate, not police records for your postcode. Badges compare to the national average when we have recorded data.
