ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- 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.

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.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- 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.

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- 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.

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 24 FTE teachers is about average in size. 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. This school has a relatively high number of TAs, which often indicates significant SEN provision or a focus on classroom support.

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

ይህ ምን ማለት ነው፡- Teacher turnover rate shows the percentage of teachers who left the school during the academic year. This includes retirements, resignations, and transfers.

This turnover rate is broadly typical. Most schools see some natural turnover each year due to career progression, relocations, and retirements.

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 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.

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 below 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.

An EHC rate above 5% is higher than typical and may indicate the school has specialist provision or a strong reputation for supporting complex needs.

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.

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.

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.
