How this Supports Your School Improvement plan

Evidence that drives better decisions

Benchmarking supports both the Quality of Education and Leadership & Governance areas of your School Improvement Plan by placing your performance in meaningful context. Compare outcomes against more than 5,000 schools, identify strengths and priorities with confidence, and give governors and leaders the external evidence they need to shape improvement plans, monitor progress and demonstrate impact.

Insight for Better Decisions

Benchmarking brings together trusted national and local comparisons in one place. Compare attainment, progress and performance against schools with similar characteristics, explore trends over time, and move beyond raw data with context that helps you identify priorities, challenge assumptions and focus improvement where it will have the greatest impact.
