Although no school performance data has been published for 2020, the Department for Education has published plenty other school-level data this year.

Our free Schools Like Yours tool is designed to help you benchmark your school with a group of similar schools, where you choose how similar is defined. Lots of schools have started using it as part of their school improvement activities.

We’ve added lots of new data[1] including:

  • New pupil characteristics data
  • New school workforce data
  • New income data
  • New absence data
  • New exclusions data

So, if you haven’t yet, why not give Schools Like Yours a try now? Or, if you’ve used it before, why not go back in and explore the latest data?

As always, we’d like to hear how you’ve been using it – do get in touch if you’ve found it of use.
