Guide to school and area statistics

A short key for the statistics shown on this page for LU2. 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 โ€” 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 โ€” for example 4โ€“11 for primary, or 11โ€“18 with sixth form.
Ofsted
Latest published inspection grade, inspection date where we have it, and a link to the schoolโ€™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 1โ€“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 โ€” 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 schoolโ€™s headline to others of the same phase on this page โ€” above, below or about average for the district.
Area overview

What you see in the area overview

Matches the two blocks above โ€” postcode district first, then the wider council area.

Area rating (stars)
A simple 1โ€“5 guide from deprivation around schools here โ€” 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 1โ€“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 โ€” street-by-street prices vary.
Flood risk
Indicative summary โ€” check Environment Agency maps for a specific address.
Broadband
General picture of speeds and availability โ€” check with providers at your address.
Green space
Brief summary of access to parks or countryside nearby.
Council tax
Typical band for the area โ€” 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 โ€” 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.
