While the dashboards are no longer to be provided, there is a new DfE tool to assist comparisons within a school and beyond, Compare School and College Performance, an open-access online tool.
If you enter the name of a school you are given headline performance information on its most recent Key Stage 2 SATs results if it is a primary school and the Key Stage 4 exams if it is a secondary. Information on the trend over three years is also given, together with key data on finance and the numbers of staff. The site offers a list of similar schools from across the country so that you can select any of these to see how its outcomes compare with that of your own school.
The chart is currently in beta form, and the DfE is seeking feedback from users with a view to producing an improved version in due course. By providing your feedback on this tool you will be able to shape the improved version
