Open What works
Each intervention is listed with the number of pupils, the average before-and-after change and the cost per pupil.
2
Compare value for money
The chart plots impact against cost. The top-left corner shows interventions with high impact for a low cost.
Tip: Use this when setting pupil premium and SEND budgets for next year.
3
See peer partnerships
Suggested partnerships pair a school that does something well with a school that needs to improve in the same area.
4
Check staffing risk
Staffing risk scores combine sickness, turnover and cover so you can see where delivery may be fragile.
