Key resultsThe core analysis of your survey data; Proportion making progress for academic, non-academic and additionalcriteria. Explanations have been provided to help you to interpret your results.
Interpreting results
For the sake of assessment in most schools, academic questions receiving a score of:
• Over 80% are 'outstanding' (above the gold line)
• 70% to 79.9% are 'good' (above the green line)
• 65% to 69.9% indicate 'room for improvement' (above the red line)
• Below 65% indicate 'attention advised' (below the red line)
Non-academic and additional questions receiving a score of:
• Over 75% are 'outstanding' (above the gold line)
• 65% to 74.9% are 'good' (above the green line)
• 60% to 64.9% indicate 'room for improvement' (above the red line)
• Below 60% indicate 'attention advised' (below the red line)
Weighted scoresIn the results tables the scores achieved are given as a percentage. A full explanation of how mean scores(lying between 1 and 5) were converted to percentages is given on our website. As there is a measurablebias in the way that parents score criteria, it is necessary to create “weighted” scores so that the score forany one criterion might be compared meaningfully with the score for any other criterion on a ‘level playingfield’. These weighted scores are calculated based upon the average scores achieved from over 230 similar,English schools. Results quoted from the previous survey, if applicable, may show small differences from thoseoriginally given, as the weightings applied change slightly from one year to the next.
Statistical reliabilityGenerally all of our results are quoted as being reliable to within less than 5% at the 95% confidence level.Where this is not possible due to the sample achieved, results are quoted as reliable to within less than 10%at the 95% confidence level and are highlighted in blue. Occasionally when results are even less reliablewe show an indicative result and highlight in pink. Where there are fewer than 10 responses we only show“low response” and no further result is quoted. For further information see our website for details. Criteriawhich have not yet been surveyed in at least 30 schools do not yet have an average figure, and therefore,these scores cannot be weighted against what students parents ‘usually’ say. These un-weighted scores aremarked *.

Your results are shown as a weightedmean score. This is a calculationapplied to your raw results usingthe average scores achieved fromover 230 similar, English schools. Itallows each criterion to be comparedmeaningfully on a ‘level playing field’.This score can be over 100%.
The previous survey results mayappear to differ slightly from youroriginal report last year. This isbecause the “weighting” calculationapplied changes slightly from oneyear to the next.
Scores above the goldline are ‘outstanding’.
Scores above the greenline are ‘good’.
Scores above the redline indicate 'room forimprovement'.
* This criteria has not yetbeen surveyed in at least 30schools. As such we do nothave an average figure andtherefore cannot weight thisscore against what studentsparents ‘usually’ say.
Scores below the redline indicate 'attentionadvised'.
“Low response” indicatesthat there were fewerthan 10 responses.
Subject scores in pinkshould only be consideredindicative due to a lowsample size, or highpolarisation.
Subject scores in blueare only reliable to within10% due to the sampleachieved.
Only highlighted changes shouldbe considered significant – agreen highlight shows a significantimprovement, a red highlight showsa significant decline, since the lastsurvey.

Happy versus unhappy parents for academic criteria
Judging performance based solely on the mean score allows for error: It is possible that the views of parentsmight be polarised so that positive and negative scores cancel each other out. It is therefore useful to conducta method of analysis which identifies the proportion of parents who are unhappy with the school’s performancefor the criteria surveyed.
The following table identifies the percentage of parents who are unhappy (rating poor or very poor) alongsidethose who are happy (rating ‘good’ or ‘very good’) for the school’s performance in each area. Note that theseresults do not include respondents who chose ‘neither good nor poor’, ‘I don’t know’ or failed to answer thequestion.
• Having fewer than 2% of parents who are unhappy with a particular area should be considered‘outstanding’ (above the gold line).
• Having between 2% & 4.9% of parents who are unhappy with a particular area should be considered as‘good’ (above the green line).
• Having between 5% & 10% of parents who are unhappy with a particular area should be considered asshowing ‘room for improvement’ (above the red line).
• Having more than 10% of parents unhappy with a particular area may suggest ‘attention advised’ (below thered line).
Only highlighted changes should be considered significant; green shows improvement, red shows decline.

• The following additional criteria were not surveyed in the previous year’s survey so we do not have previoussurvey data to compare them to: Developing resilience in pupils and Preparing pupils for life in modernBritain.

Happy versus unhappy parents for additional criteria
The following table identifies the percentage of parents who are unhappy (rating poor or very poor) alongsidethose who are happy (rating ‘good’ or ‘very good’) for the school’s performance in each area. Note that theseresults do not include respondents who chose ‘neither good nor poor’, ‘I don’t know’ or failed to answer thequestion.
• Having fewer than 2% of parents who are unhappy with a particular area should be considered‘outstanding’ (above the gold line).
• Having between 2% & 4.9% of parents who are unhappy with a particular area should be considered as‘good’ (above the green line).
• Having between 5% & 15% of parents who are unhappy with a particular area should be considered asshowing ‘room for improvement’ (above the red line).
• Having more than 15% of parents unhappy with a particular area may suggest ‘attention advised’ (below thered line).
Only highlighted changes should be considered significant; green shows improvement, red shows decline.

ASCL self-evaluation summaryThe September 2012 Ofsted evaluation schedule asserts the increased importance of a school’s own selfevaluation data as the starting point of the inspection process.
The following evidence summary is presented to allow schools to summarise their inspection self evaluationevidence under the four main judgements: Achievement, Teaching, Behaviour & Safety and Leadership. Also,the school’s promotion of Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural Development (SMSC) is included, along withOverall Effectiveness.
The evidence is presented here under the format of the School self-evaluation: Guidance for Schoolsdocument, created and promoted by ASCL. This format summarises your school’s survey evidence into ASCL’swriting frame structure. The evidence given here is only that achieved from this survey; it is vital that yourevidence summary for Ofsted also considers any other evidence that you have gathered, either from othersurveys or from internal measurement and observation.
The Judgement areas, plus an overall summary, are broken down into sub-criteria. Scores of 1 to 4 representratings of Outstanding, Good, Requires improvement, and Inadequate, as used by ASCL. Where any area isfound to be Inadequate then this rating will be given for the section as a whole. Criteria where evidence wasindicative rather than reliable are once again given in pink.
Remember, for grading comparisons with our colour coded system:
Gold = Outstanding = Grade 1
Green = Good = Grade 2
Black = Requires improvement = Grade 3
Red = Inadequate = Grade 4
It is now also possible to have split grades. If your grade is close to the boundary above, this is indicated with a+ (plus). If your grade is close to the boundary below, this is indicated with a - (minus).
We show the strengths and weaknesses in each sub-section, where appropriate; where there are fewer thanfour criteria, these are not shown. Red criteria cannot be shown as strengths; gold criteria cannot be shown asweaknesses.
N.B. According to Ofsted’s “Framework for School Inspection”, published in January 2012, “schools cannot bejudged as ‘outstanding’ for overall effectiveness unless they have ‘outstanding’ teaching”.

Unexpected results
Analysis to investigate unexpected or unusual year group results
This section of the report identifies results that were particularly unexpected or unusual that may be of interestto you.
Our research shows us that typically, average scores of many criteria do change as students get older; somescores improve whilst others decline, or show a dip or a spike in a particular year group. There are manyreasons for why these differences occur; for example because a subject is dropped in year 9 or because someissues become more or less important as students progress through the school.
We are able to apply these national patterns to the scores from your school, and as a result, make a predictionof the scores we would have expected from each year group. This allows us to look at the differencesbetween your year group scores in light of what usually happens in similar schools which enables us to moremeaningfully compare the satisfaction of parents from one year group against those from another.
We have plotted your actual score for each year group against the score that we would have expected eachyear group to contribute, and the following pages identify those criteria where results were unexpected orunusual.
The first graph on each page shows the satisfaction scores for each year group. The line shows the score thatwe would have expected.
The second graph breaks this information down further by showing you how the parents from each year groupscored, from ‘very poor’ through to ‘very good’.

Analysis of year group scores compared to national average
The graphs in this section of the report show the scores achieved for each of the surveyed criteria, brokendown by year group, compared to the national averages. The purple line shows the scores achieved from theaverage of similar schools, where these averages are available. If the bar is above the line, students in thatyear group are more satisfied than the national average. If the bar is below the line, students in that year groupare less satisfied than the national average. Any unusual results are explained in more detail in the unexpectedresults section of this report (see page 50).
