Guidance

The chart shows school level information for 2021, 2022 and 2023.

If the text states ‘Well above average’ and the box is shaded blue, this means the figure is in the highest 20% compared to all schools. If the text states ‘Well below average’ and the box is shaded orange, this means that the figure is in the lowest 20% compared to all schools. If the text states ‘Above average’ this means the figure puts the school in the 21%-40% of schools category. If it states ‘Below average’, the figure puts the school in the 61%-80% of schools category.

Average in this chart refers to median.

With the exception of the school location deprivation measure, schools are separated and compared by phase into primary (or middle deemed primary) and secondary (or middle deemed secondary). Special schools are compared with the ‘Secondary’ national comparator.

FSM in this chart refers to the percentage of pupils in receipt of FSM at the time of the January census; these pupils are those who are or have been eligible for FSM and have claimed them some time in the last 6 years.

Stability is a measure of the percentage of students who were admitted to the school at the standard time of admission. The stability percentage is calculated by dividing the number of pupils who meet the stability criteria by the number of all eligible pupils (pupils in Years 1 to 11 with a single or main dual registration at the school at the time of the January school census).

For deprivation measures, ‘Above average’ means “more deprived” and ‘Below average’ means “less deprived”.

The data is based on three January census returns from the Department for Education.

Information regarding the level of deprivation in the local area in which the school resides, together with an aggregated pupil-derived deprivation indicator is provided. Each deprivation indicator is based on the English indices of deprivation from 2019.

The Department for Education January 2023 census provides the data relating to the pupil base level of deprivation. You can read further information about the data used for the local area deprivation.

There is additional guidance about this section.

Guidance

The prior attainment table presents how pupils in the school performed at the previous key stage in relation to the rest of their year group nationally.

Prior attainment is based on the following factors:

• there is no prior attainment data due to COVID-19 for years 8 and 9.
• it is based on those achieving the expected standard at key stage 2 for years 7, 10 and 11.

Where the text states ‘Above national’ and the box is shaded blue, this indicates that the figure was at least 1 standard deviation above the national. Where the text states ‘Below national’ and the box is shaded orange, this indicates that the figure was at least 1 standard deviation below the national.

Small cohorts refer to those that are fewer than 11 or were too small to have a valid significance output.

The Department for Education January 2023 census provides data for this table.

Staffing

• The proportion of education support staff relative to teaching staff was in the lowest 20% in 2022, 2021 and 2020.
• Per pupil spending was in the highest 20% of similar schools in 2021/22 for: Agency supply teaching staff, Education support staff.
• Per pupil spending was in the lowest 20% of similar schools in 2021/22 for: Supply teaching staff.
• There is nothing to highlight for teachers with at least one period of sickness absence in 2021/22 or 2020/21.
• There is nothing to highlight for days lost to teacher absence (6 days) in 2021/22.
• At the time of the November 2022 census, there were no full-time vacant teacher posts in the school.
• There is nothing to highlight for staff turnover in 2021, 2020 or 2019.

Guidance

Sickness absence data for 2020/21 was collected in the November 2022 census and was affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

It is not possible to draw accurate comparisons with previous time periods due to factors including partially limited school openings, delivery of education via virtual means, and potential differences in the recording of sickness absence. The figures relate to sickness absence only and do not include non-attendance due to, for example, isolation and shielding.

Information on staff turnover as at the 2022 school workforce census is calculated using the number of full time equivalent (FTE) turnover leavers and the total FTE staff at the school. A school will be highlighted as having high staff turnover if the turnover rate was in the highest 20% of schools for the previous 2 years. Low staff turnover is not highlighted. Special schools are compared to primaries.

At a school level, turnover and leavers can be volatile from year to year. The size of a school can have a large impact on rates of leavers and turnover.

The Department for Education published school workforce information provides data for the vacant post measures as at November 2022 as well as the proportion of education support staff relative to teaching staff sentence.

The Department for Education also supplies the staff turnover source data.

There is additional guidance about this section.

Links to alternative provision and other providers

According to the January 2023 census, pupils at this school were also registered at the following registered providers (this does not include unregistered):

• Alternative provision - AP 1 - URN 999999 (2)
• Secondary - Secondary school - URN 999999 (1)

Guidance

The first is a sentence to show how many pupils (where applicable) moved into state funded alternative provision and whether they remained there. This sentence will only be displayed where the number of pupils is 5 or more.

The second is a sentence which details any other providers (schools or alternative provision) at which pupils in this school were dual registered according to the January 2023 census. The number of pupils at each provider is shown in brackets. This sentence will only be displayed if there were pupils at the school who were also registered at another provider.

There is additional guidance about this section.

Comparison to all schools	Highest 20%	Highest 20%		Highest 20%	Highest 20%
Comparison to schools with a similar level of deprivation	Highest 20%	Highest 20%		–	Highest 20%

Guidance

Absence data is based on 2 terms for 2022/23 and 3 terms for 2021/22. The chart shows when the school percentage for absence or persistent absentees was in the highest or lowest 20% for all schools or for similar schools. Similar means the same phase of education and with a similar level of deprivation (in the same income deprivation affecting children index quintile).

Comparison data is only shown when the school is in the highest or lowest 20%.

The information is based on Department for Education pupil level absence data collected via the school census.

There is additional guidance about this section.

Suspensions & permanent exclusions

Whole school

	Pupils with 1 or more suspensions				Pupils with 2 or more suspensions
	2019/20	2020/21	2021/22		2019/20	2020/21	2021/22

Comparison to all schools	–	–	Highest 20%		–	–	Highest 20%
Comparison to schools with a similar level of deprivation	–	–	–		–	–	Highest 20%

• Of the 23 pupils in the whole school with 1 or more suspensions in 2021/22, 22% were suspended on 2 or more occasions and none received 10 or more suspensions during the year.
• Of the 33 suspensions in the whole school in 2021/22, the following reasons each accounted for more than 10%: physical assault against a pupil (10), verbal abuse/threatening behaviour against an adult (9), persistent disruptive behaviour (6).
• There were no permanent exclusions in the whole school in 2021/22. The national average for this year was 2. However, there was 1 permanent exclusion in 2020/21 and 1 in 2019/20.

Guidance

Suspensions were previously referred to as fixed term exclusions.

The suspensions and permanent exclusions data is one year behind and therefore may not relate to the same cohort as other IDSR data.

The whole school measure includes all year groups in the school.

The chart shows when the school percentage of pupils with 1 or more suspensions or 2 or more suspensions was in the highest 20% for all schools or for similar schools. Similar means the same phase of education and with a similar level of deprivation (in the same income deprivation affecting children index quintile). The similar schools comparison will not be visible for primary schools – we do not produce the comparison due to very low suspension rates.

The comparison data is only shown when the school is in the highest 20%.

The Department for Education provides the source data for this section.

There is additional guidance which provides the criteria used to determine the sentences.

There is no cohort threshold applied to the reason sentences in this section.

16 to 18

• There were no students at 16 to 18 with 1 or more suspensions in 2021/22. The national average for this year was 1. There were none in 2019/20 either but there was 1 in 2019/20.
• There were no permanent exclusions at 16 to 18 in 2021/22. The national average for this year was close to zero. There were no permanent exclusions in the previous two years either.

Guidance

Due to the low number of suspensions and permanent exclusions nationally in sixth forms, it has not been possible to make the same comparisons as with the whole schools measure (highest 20%). Instead, the IDSR treats suspensions as it does exclusions and displays the school number and national average. For this same reason the IDSR does not look at the school percentage for pupil with 2 or more suspensions for sixth forms or make comparisons to schools with similar levels of deprivation as with the whole school section.

16 to 18 in this section relates to Years 12, 13 and 14 where applicable.

The Department for Education supplies the source data for this section.

Guidance

This section uses the Department for Education January school census to identify pupils who were in each school in January of one year and whether they were still in the same school in January of the following year.

It also specifies the number that left the school between Years 10 and 11. If we have identified this number as significantly higher than anticipated, based on a range of contextual factors, then this will be noted.

There is additional guidance which provides the criteria used to determine the sentences.

Guidance

This section shows all the subjects entered by pupils at this school in 2023, 2022 and 2021.

The entries figure represents the number of exam entries in a given subject, rather than the number of pupils entered. Therefore, if a pupil was entered for the same qualification in two different exam seasons, this would count as 2 entries. Discounting has not been applied to this table and this includes entries that may not have counted in performance measures. Early entries were not included in 2021.

For technical awards, any entries for a level 1 qualification may be grouped with those for the level 2 qualification in the same subject. Such figures will be represented as a single row where the ‘Qualification type’ is listed as ‘Level 1/2.’

A shaded box and corresponding text will appear if the average point score for pupils in a particular subject is in the highest or lowest 20% of all schools and only if entry levels were at or above national entries.

The Department for Education supplies the source pupil level data for this section.

There is additional guidance which provides the criteria used to determine the sentences and links to further detail for the measures.

Guidance

Arrows indicate whether the school, when compared to the national, has changed. A dark shaded upward arrow indicates that the school difference from national has improved from the comparator year (difference of at least 2 standard deviations).

A lighter shade upward arrow indicates the school difference from national has improved slightly from the comparator year (difference of at least 1 standard deviation). Arrows pointing downwards indicate a worsening in the difference to national, with the same shading rules.

A horizontal line means the school is similar to the comparator year (difference was less than 1 standard deviation OR there were fewer than 11 pupils in either of the years).

Cohort/entries shows the number of pupils included in the measure. Measures such as progress scores include only pupils with prior attainment. Some key stage 4 measures may only include the pupils entered for that subject area.

The Department for Education supplies the source pupil level data for this section.

There is additional guidance which further details about the methodologies used and a list of the measure included in the table.

16 to 18 qualification types and retention

Qualification types

A level	86%	70%	70%
Applied general	28%	53%	53%
Tech level	1%	1%	1%
Tech certificate	1%	1%	1%

Guidance

This table lists the proportion of students undertaking each type of qualification. No box highlighting is applied to this table.

Students may be working towards more than 1 type of qualification and so may be counted more than once. Students taking courses that are not full qualifications are not included. Students taking academic qualifications other than A levels are not included in the table under individual qualification types but are included in the cohort information. Therefore, the numbers in each column may not add up to the total number of students and percentages may not add up to 100.

The number and proportion of students who are not taking any approved level 3 or level 2 Department for Education qualification is also included in the form of a sentence below the table.

The Department for Education provides the source data for this section.

There is additional guidance which provides the criteria used to determine the sentences.

Retention on main study programmes

	2019	2022
A level	(91% of 75 students)	(95% of 56 students)
Applied general	(75% of 9 students)	(83% of 31 students)
Tech level	No students	No students
Tech certificate	No students	No students

Guidance

This table provides data on the extent to which a provider retains students to the end of the main learning aim of their study programme. The measure used in this section is ‘retained and assessed’.

Highlighting is applied on this table. Blue boxes are displayed when all students were retained and the cohort was greater than 10. Orange boxes are displayed when the value is in the bottom decile when compared to all providers and the cohort is greater than 10.

Students are counted in the retained and assessed measure if they are retained to the end of their course and are assessed. The assessment may not necessarily be in the same subject or type of qualification they were aiming for when their studies began. However, the assessment must be at the same level and at least the same size as the main aim. For example, a student with an original main aim of tech level at size 1 would be considered as retained and assessed with an applied general exam result of at least size 1.

From 2019, only technical certificates are recognised as level 2 vocational qualifications in the 16 to 18 performance tables. In 2018, the Department for Education reported a broader range of qualifications. The Department for Education’s guidance on technical and vocational qualifications contains the lists of qualifications that count in 2019 performance tables.

A student’s study programme is defined based on their main aim. The Department for Education’s 16 to 18 accountability measures technical guide provides further information on how this is defined.

The Department for Education provides the source data for this section.

There is additional guidance which provides the criteria used to determine the sentences.

Guidance

This section shows all the subjects entered by pupils at this school in 2023 and 2022.

The entries figure represents the number of exam entries in a given subject, rather than the number of pupils entered. Therefore, if a pupil was entered for the same qualification in two different exam seasons, this would count as 2 entries. Discounting has not been applied to this table and this includes entries that may not have counted in performance measures.

The Department for Education supplies the source pupil level data for this section.

There is additional guidance which provides the criteria used to determine the sentences and links to further detail for the measures.

Attainment at 16 to 18

  School difference from national has improved from comparator year
  School difference from national has improved slightly from comparator year
  Similar to comparator year or fewer than 11 pupils
  School difference from national has weakened slightly from comparator year
  School difference from national has weakened from comparator year

Non-significant data

All of the progress and attainment measures were statistically significant.

Guidance

Arrows indicate whether the school, when compared to the national, has changed. A dark shaded upward arrow indicates that the school difference from national has improved from the comparator year (difference of at least 2 standard deviations).

A lighter shade upward arrow indicates the school difference from national has improved slightly from the comparator year (difference of at least 1 standard deviation). Arrows pointing downwards indicate a worsening in the difference to national, with the same shading rules.

A horizontal line means the school is similar to the comparator year (difference was less than 1 standard deviation OR there were fewer than 11 pupils in either of the years).

Cohort/entries shows the number of pupils included in the measure. Measures such as progress scores include only pupils with prior attainment. Some key stage 4 measures may only include the pupils entered for that subject area.

The Department for Education supplies the source pupil level data for this section.

There is additional guidance which further details about the methodologies used and a list of the measure included in the table.

Destinations at 16 to 18

	2018/19 (78 pupils in scope)	2019/20 (79 pupils in scope)	2020/21 (80 pupils in scope)
Sustained education, employment or training	Sig above 95%	Average 86%	Sig above 97%
Any sustained education	Average 58%	Average 42%	Average 48%
Sustained employment	Average 30%	Sig above 41%	Sig above 44%
Sustained apprenticeship	Average 6%	Average 3%	Average 5%
Destination not sustained	Sig below 4%	Average 13%	Sig below 3%
Activity not captured	Average 1%	Average 1%	Average 0%

Guidance

This table displays the proportion of pupils that continued to complete specified destinations. This data is publicly available and comes from the Department for Education’s destinations collection. The column header displays the year of completed education as the latest year.

The data for the latest year relates to the pupils that sustained destinations in 2021/22. These are students that reached the end of 16 to 18 study in 2020/21.

Blue boxes will indicate if a figure was, statistically, significantly above the national average. Orange boxes will indicate when a figure was, statistically, significantly below the national average.

If data has been suppressed due to small cohorts, ‘small cohort’ will be shown in the box. Cohort suppression in this table follows the rules used by the Department for Education.

The Department for Education supplies the source data for this section.

Guidance

This section may contain up to three tables of measures, depending on the school phase. The ‘Primary’ and/or ‘Secondary’ tables display the performance of pupil groups at the corresponding phase of education. Measures are generated for the pupil groups FSM and/or children looked after (CLA) and low/middle/high prior attainers. The ‘Absence’ table displays absence rates of pupils eligible for FSM, pupils with SEND, and pupils with English as an additional language. Only the latest year’s data is assessed in this section.

For the tables of performance measures, shaded boxes and text will appear for a pupil group measure if both the measure is significantly different to the national comparator for that pupil group and the national comparison for a pupil group differs to the national comparison for the whole school. For example, if Progress 8 for all pupils was not significantly different to national but Progress 8 for low prior attainers was significantly above national, the low attainers group will be highlighted. If Progress 8 for all pupils and Progress 8 for low prior attainers were both significantly above national, then the group will not be highlighted.

The text and shading are based on significance when compared with the corresponding national value for each measure, with the exception of the FSM and/or CLA pupil group which is compared with the national for pupils who are not FSM and/or CLA.

For the ‘Primary’ table, please also note the following points:

• We no longer include prior attainment groups for key stage 1 in this section of the IDSR due to lack of prior attainment data.
• Pupil groups measures are based on the expected standard and do not appear for the high standard.
• Pupil groups measures for phonics and multiplication tables checks (MTC) do not appear in this section.

For the ‘Absence’ table, the shading and text generally follow the same rules as for the tables of performance measures, except that for absence the text and shading are based on quintile (highest/lowest 20%). For example, if the school percentage of persistent absentees for all pupils was not in the highest 20% nationally, but the school percentage of persistent absentees for pupils with SEND was in the highest 20% nationally, the SEND pupil group will be highlighted. If the school percentage of persistent absentees for all pupils and pupils with SEND were both in the highest 20% nationally, then the group will not be highlighted.

Tables are not produced for the following types of measures:

• Suspensions and exclusions.
• Performance for 16 to 18 – it was not possible to calculate pupil group measures for 16 to 18 in 2023, due to no value added or completion and attainment data being available as a result of COVID-19.

Pupil group differences can be meaningless when analysed at school level, particularly when groups relate to small cohorts. The conversation should be about meeting the needs of all pupils.

There is additional guidance which provides further detail for this section.
