Choose a region, a combined or mayoral authority, or a local authority, and see its schools’ Value Added v2.1 on a map and in a table.

Every state-funded mainstream secondary school in England has a Value Added v2.1 figure for all pupils, disadvantaged and non-disadvantaged pupils, girls and boys, 2021/22 to 2024/25: Attainment 8 points against England, shrunk by reliability. Choose a level and an area; the map zooms to its schools, a chart shows how each school’s value added has moved year by year, and the table lists them. Click a column heading to sort. “Absence against intake” is percentage points above (positive) or below what the school’s intake predicts.

Colour by offers the same measures as the Sussex pages, for every school in England: value added in each of its forms, attendance (absence, persistent absence, illness, unauthorised absence, reduced timetables, suspensions), results, intake, and the school itself (who runs it, Ofsted, religious character). Value added and absence against intake are coloured on fixed national scales; the other measures run across the range within the chosen area; a measure that is neither better nor worse high or low (disadvantage, EAL, SEN) is shaded in greys. Whichever measure is chosen gets a column in the table.

Period switches between the four-year figure (shrunk, with 95% intervals) and a moving average of the yearly figures, centred on the year you choose, over one, three or five years. A window that runs off the end of the series uses the years there are: a three-year average centred on 2021/22 averages 2021/22 and 2022/23. Yearly figures are not shrunk, so a single year moves more than the four-year figure; see value added over time.

Warning2025/26 is provisional

The last year in the trajectories, and any moving average whose window includes it: 2025/26 is provisional: predicted from the v2.1 model using DfE’s provisional KS4 results (October 2026), with absence bridged from autumn and spring and the intake data not yet published carried forward. It will be updated with the revised KS4 release in February 2027.

Combined and mayoral authorities are from the ONS lookup of local authority districts to combined authorities (May 2025), with the six Devolution Priority Programme areas announced in February 2025 added and marked “(new)”. Areas not in a combined authority are not listed at that level. The full data are in va_v2_schools.csv, and the Sussex areas have pages of their own.
