ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers employed at the school. Part-time teachers are counted proportionally (e.g. a teacher working 3 days counts as 0.6 FTE).

Teacher numbers typically reflect the size and funding of the school. A school with 14 FTE teachers is relatively small. Changes over time may indicate growth, budget pressures, or restructuring.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The number of full-time equivalent (FTE) teaching assistants employed at the school, including higher-level teaching assistants (HLTAs).

Teaching assistant numbers vary widely between schools. The number of TAs usually depends on the school's SEN population, funding, and teaching model.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The pupil-to-teacher ratio (PTR) divides the total number of pupils by the number of FTE teachers. It indicates how many pupils each teacher is responsible for on average, though actual class sizes may differ.

A pupil-to-teacher ratio above 25 is higher than typical. This may indicate larger class sizes or budget constraints limiting teacher recruitment.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The teacher sickness absence rate shows the percentage of possible teaching days lost to sickness absence across all teachers during the academic year.

A teacher absence rate above 5% is higher than the national average and may indicate workforce wellbeing challenges or an above-average level of long-term sickness.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The percentage of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals (FSM). FSM eligibility is widely used as a proxy indicator for socio-economic disadvantage.

An FSM rate above 30% is significantly above the national average and typically indicates a school serving a community with higher levels of deprivation.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The percentage of pupils identified as having Special Educational Needs (SEN), including both SEN Support and those with Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans.

An SEN rate above 20% is higher than the national average and may indicate strong SEN identification practices or a school that attracts families seeking good SEN provision.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The percentage of pupils receiving SEN Support — the first tier of SEN provision, where additional help is provided within the school without an EHC plan.

This level of SEN Support is above the national average. The proportion often reflects how the school identifies and categorises additional needs.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The percentage of pupils with an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan — the highest level of SEN support, involving a legally binding document specifying the provision required.

This EHC rate is within the normal range. Many mainstream schools have 1–3% of pupils with EHC plans.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The total number of school places available (capacity). This is the physical capacity based on the school's buildings and grounds.

A capacity of 480 places indicates a larger-than-average school.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The total number of pupils on roll — the actual number of pupils attending the school.

The school currently has 340 pupils on roll. This figure can change from year to year based on admissions, in-year transfers, and demographic trends in the local area.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The percentage of pupils meeting the expected standard in Reading, Writing and Maths (RWM combined) at the end of Key Stage 2. This is the headline measure for primary school attainment.

This attainment level is broadly around the national average. The national benchmark typically sits between 55–65%.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The KS2 Reading progress score measures how much progress pupils have made in reading between the end of KS1 and KS2, compared to pupils nationally with similar starting points. A score of 0 is average; positive means above average.

A negative progress score may indicate that pupils are making less progress than similar pupils nationally, though contextual factors should be considered.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- The KS2 Maths progress score measures how much progress pupils have made in maths between KS1 and KS2, compared to pupils nationally with similar starting points.

A negative maths progress score suggests scope for improvement, though many contextual factors influence this measure.
