All educational environments have to submit a certain amount of data relating to performance. This may be exam results, progress trackers and other records which will give the Department of Educations an over view of how they are performing and what needs to be done to make improvements. League tables will give you an overview of the levels the students attending a school are at, but these results may be selective. Higher achieving schools for example may only accept 75% of admissions that they have, selecting the high achieving students. This means that their levels will often be higher than the national average due to the high level they started at.

A mid achieving school may be performing just as well but have a wider range of student ability, meaning their overall score may be lower.

League tables should only ever be used in addition to other information about the school such as Ofsted reports, when making a decision on whether that school is the right place for your child to go.

Chancellor George Osborne is calling for all schools to become academies by 2020 or to have a plan in place to convert to an academy by 2022 at the latest. Previous to 2010, schools often only turned in to academies if they were seen to be under performing (often following Ofsted inspections). Since then the government have tried to encourage all schools to go down the academy route and are even offering additional funding for schools which do.

There are mixed feelings about academy schools from teacher, pupils and parents. Some like the way the school has more control over the timetable, holidays and members of staff they can employ, whereas others think that it is a risky strategy and that not making all schools comply with the same rules and procedures could back fire. With academies often receiving additional funding by sponsors, could it be that schools in less wealthy areas suffer because of lack of funding?
