School Data
Although statutory assessments took place in the Summer Term 2022, the Department for Education (DfE) recognised that the impact of school closures due to Covid 19, made the reliability of the data across England and Wales variable. Therefore, school performance data will not be published by the DfE and schools for the academic year 2021 - 2022.
The data below is from the 2018-2019 academic year (due to statutory assessments being cancelled by the DfE in both the 2019-2020 and 2020 - 2021 cycles). This is the most current publish data for The Discovery School.

Primary school progress measures information for schools and parents
For data on schools and colleges, the Department for Education (DfE) has released the school comparison tool. It can be used to compare performance data across schools and colleges, and to check individual providers, using a similar graphical presentation to the Data Dashboard. Additional performance data for further education and skills providers can be accessed using the Skills Funding Agency (SFA) National achievement rates tables and the Learner characteristics by provider tables.
