Providing an on-the-day results service for schools

Schools want comparative data as soon as the GCSE and A Level results are available. They want to understand how their results compare to other local schools. But it is not a straightforward process to get comparable data in such a tight timescale. We have provided an on-the-day results service for schools for the last 11 years and have some lessons to share on how to do it well. Introduction There is great interest in the performance of local schools on GCSE and A Level results days. Schools, the local authority, Councillors, parents and the press all want to know…

London loses in proposed schools funding formula

The Government are consulting on a new funding formula for schools. It will determine school budgets on a consistent basis nationally. The largest proportion of funding (72.5%) will be based on the number of pupils in a school.
