Tan macnaheedu waa: 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 22 FTE teachers is about average in size. Changes over time may indicate growth, budget pressures, or restructuring.

Tan macnaheedu waa: 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.

Tan macnaheedu waa: 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.

Tan macnaheedu waa: 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.

Tan macnaheedu waa: 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.

Tan macnaheedu waa: 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.

Tan macnaheedu waa: 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.

Tan macnaheedu waa: The total number of school places available (capacity). This is the physical capacity based on the school's buildings and grounds.

A capacity of 420 places indicates a larger-than-average school.

Tan macnaheedu waa: The total number of pupils on roll — the actual number of pupils attending the school.

The school currently has 419 pupils on roll. This figure can change from year to year based on admissions, in-year transfers, and demographic trends in the local area.

Tan macnaheedu waa: 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%.

Tan macnaheedu waa: 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 progress score near zero indicates pupils are making broadly average progress compared to similar pupils nationally.

Tan macnaheedu waa: 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 maths progress score above 1.0 usually reflects strong mathematical teaching and a well-structured curriculum.
