FFT Education DataLab launches “Schools Like Yours” tool

Researchers at FFT Education DataLab have built an online comparison tool, Schools Like Yours, that allows you to find schools similar to your own – and you define what similar means.

So far, the tool is available for mainstream Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4 schools. They both contain data on:

  • performance (last three years);
  • school characteristics (governance, region, denomination etc.);
  • pupil characteristics;
  • absence;
  • finance;
  • workforce;
  • Ofsted ratings

You can then view and download a range of publicly available data about the set of schools like yours.

Access the tool online here.
