Each metric uses its own colour so you can tell the rows apart. The lighter bar is the RM3 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. Key Stage 2 is 2024/25: expected standard combined, greater depth, then reading, writing and maths. England is the state-funded average. Lower persistent absence is better.
