Governor Dashboard - Introduction

Six key questions:

1. How does attainment and pupil progress at

my school compare to the national average?

2. How are we performing in different subjects?

3. Do we have any under-performing groups of

pupils?

4. How might the context of our school affect our

performance?

5. How does pupil attendance compare to the

national average?

6. What are the key potential strengths and

weaknesses of your school?
