Ev tê çi wateyê: 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.

Ev tê çi wateyê: 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.

Ev tê çi wateyê: 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.

Ev tê çi wateyê: 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 61 FTE teachers is larger than average. Changes over time may indicate growth, budget pressures, or restructuring.

Ev tê çi wateyê: 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. The number of TAs usually depends on the school's SEN population, funding, and teaching model.

Ev tê çi wateyê: 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.

Ev tê çi wateyê: Teacher turnover rate shows the percentage of teachers who left the school during the academic year. This includes retirements, resignations, and transfers.

Ev tê çi wateyê: 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.

📊 📊 Perryfields Academy 17,638th ji 18,810 dibistanên li hemû welat tê rêz kirin

Ev tê çi wateyê: The average number of days lost to sickness absence per teacher during the academic year. This includes both short-term and long-term absences.

An average of more than 7 days per teacher is above the national average (typically around 5 days). This may be driven by one or two long-term absences.

📊 📊 Perryfields Academy 16,529th ji 18,799 dibistanên li hemû welat tê rêz kirin

Ev tê çi wateyê: 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.

Ev tê çi wateyê: 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.

Ev tê çi wateyê: 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.

Ev tê çi wateyê: 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.

Ev tê çi wateyê: The total number of school places available (capacity). This is the physical capacity based on the school's buildings and grounds.

A capacity of 1,200 places indicates a larger-than-average school.

Ev tê çi wateyê: The total number of pupils on roll — the actual number of pupils attending the school.

The school currently has 947 pupils on roll. This figure can change from year to year based on admissions, in-year transfers, and demographic trends in the local area.
