📋 SEN (Special Educational Needs)

SEN in Northern Ireland follows a similar framework to England but is administered by the Education Authority NI. The Code of Practice outlines 5 stages of assessment and provision.

🍽️ Free School Meals

FSM eligibility is a key indicator of socio-economic deprivation. The percentage shown reflects the proportion of pupils eligible for free meals based on family income.

🌍 EAL (English as Additional Language)

EAL learners are pupils whose first language is not English. A higher EAL percentage often indicates a culturally diverse school community.
