GAUGED
A benchmark is only as useful as the peers you compare with.
GAUGED builds peer groups around the characteristics that matter for each comparison.
What makes a school or Trust comparable?
- School phase and type
- Selective status
- Sixth-form provision
- Pupil numbers
- Pupil profile, including eligibility for free school meals
- Trust income for relevant financial comparisons
- Geography when location matters
We describe the peer group in plain language, including pupil number and free school meal ranges where applicable. That gives leaders and trustees the context they need to interpret the results.
