My Local School

My Local School is a website designed to open up access to schools data for parents and all others with an interest in their local school.

The site contains a wealth of data from contextual information, such as data on pupil numbers and characteristics, to school performance, attendance and data on staffing and finance.

The performance data within the site is also set within context. For example schools are benchmarked against schools with similar levels of Free School Meals and compared against schools in the same "families" (groups of schools facing a broadly equivalent level of challenge). We believe that this is the best and fairest way of considering the performance of a school.

The site has been developed to allow on-line access to detailed data about the performance of a school and to help parents understand, engage with and support their local school.
