An absence rate above 7% is typically considered high. Schools in areas of higher deprivation usually report higher absence rates, often linked to health inequalities, family circumstances, or transport challenges.

这意味着什么： 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.

这意味着什么： 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.

这意味着什么： 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.

这意味着什么： 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.

This FSM rate is broadly around the national average. Schools with moderate FSM rates serve communities with mixed levels of deprivation.

这意味着什么： The percentage of pupils identified as having Special Educational Needs (SEN), including both SEN Support and those with Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans.

This SEN rate is within the typical range for most schools. The national average usually sits between 12–17%.

这意味着什么： 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 around the national average. The proportion often reflects how the school identifies and categorises additional needs.

这意味着什么： 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.

这意味着什么： The total number of school places available (capacity). This is the physical capacity based on the school's buildings and grounds.

A capacity of 225 places is typical for a primary school.

这意味着什么： The total number of pupils on roll — the actual number of pupils attending the school.

The school currently has 194 pupils on roll. This figure can change from year to year based on admissions, in-year transfers, and demographic trends in the local area.
