ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: The suspension rate shows the percentage of pupils who received at least one fixed-period suspension during the academic year. A single pupil suspended multiple times counts once.

ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: 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 70 FTE teachers is larger than average. Changes over time may indicate growth, budget pressures, or restructuring.

ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: 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.

ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: 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 lower pupil-to-teacher ratio often indicates smaller class sizes, which usually allows for more individualised attention.

ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: Teacher turnover rate shows the percentage of teachers who left the school during the academic year. This includes retirements, resignations, and transfers.

ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: 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.

ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: The average number of days lost to sickness absence per teacher during the academic year. This includes both short-term and long-term absences.

This level of teacher absence days is within or below the typical range for most schools.

ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: 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.

A lower FSM rate usually indicates the school serves a more affluent catchment area.

ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: The percentage of pupils identified as having Special Educational Needs (SEN), including both SEN Support and those with Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans.

A lower SEN rate may reflect the school's catchment demographics or differing approaches to SEN identification.

ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: 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 below the national average. The proportion often reflects how the school identifies and categorises additional needs.

ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: 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.

ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: The total number of school places available (capacity). This is the physical capacity based on the school's buildings and grounds.

A capacity of 1,183 places indicates a larger-than-average school.

ഇത് എന്താണ് അർത്ഥമാക്കുന്നത്: The total number of pupils on roll — the actual number of pupils attending the school.

The school currently has 1,135 pupils on roll. This figure can change from year to year based on admissions, in-year transfers, and demographic trends in the local area.
