Each metric uses its own colour so you can tell the rows apart. The lighter bar is the DE24 average; the darker bar is this school. SEN is not compared with the district average for special, pupil referral or alternative provision schools, because almost all pupils have identified needs.
Compared with England
Persistent absence is 2024/25. Headline GCSE measures are 2024/25. Progress 8 is from 2023/24, the latest year published for this school. There is no Progress 8 for 2024/25 or 2025/26, because those pupils did not sit Key Stage 2 tests during the pandemic. England is the state-funded average from the same tables. Progress 8 of 0 is typical.
