இதன் பொருள் என்ன: The overall absence rate measures the percentage of possible sessions (half-days) missed by pupils across the academic year, including both authorised and unauthorised absences.

This absence rate is broadly in line with the national average. Most schools typically see rates between 5–7%, influenced by seasonal illness and local factors.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: 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.

A suspension rate above 10% is relatively high and may indicate significant behaviour challenges or a strict behaviour policy. Schools with higher deprivation often report higher rates.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: The permanent exclusion rate shows the percentage of pupils permanently excluded from the school during the academic year. This is the most serious sanction a headteacher can apply.

Permanent exclusion remains relatively rare nationally, typically below 0.1%. A rate above this may reflect severe behavioural incidents or a school facing particular challenges.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: 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 11 FTE teachers is relatively small. Changes over time may indicate growth, budget pressures, or restructuring.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: 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.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: 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.

This pupil-to-teacher ratio is within the normal range for most schools. The national average typically sits between 18–22 for primaries.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: Teacher turnover rate shows the percentage of teachers who left the school during the academic year. This includes retirements, resignations, and transfers.

A turnover rate above 20% is typically considered high and may suggest recruitment challenges, workload pressures, or leadership changes.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: The teacher sickness absence rate shows the percentage of possible teaching days lost to sickness absence across all teachers during the academic year.

This teacher absence rate is below the national average, which usually reflects good staff wellbeing and effective absence management.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: 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.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: 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.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: 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.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: 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.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: 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.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: The total number of school places available (capacity). This is the physical capacity based on the school's buildings and grounds.

A capacity of 315 places is typical for a primary school.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: The total number of pupils on roll — the actual number of pupils attending the school.

The school currently has 242 pupils on roll. This figure can change from year to year based on admissions, in-year transfers, and demographic trends in the local area.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: 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.

KS2 attainment below the national average may reflect the school's intake characteristics. Schools with higher FSM eligibility typically report lower RWM attainment, though this is not always the case.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: 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.

இதன் பொருள் என்ன: 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.
