Details
The preliminary ratings are independent of one another. Each school has been judged separately, not taking into account the possibility that other local schools might ‘share’ the impact of the new free school.
All impact ratings take the following factors into account (using data available at the time of the impact assessment):
- distance from the proposed free school
- number of unfilled places (for primary, secondary and sixth forms)
- latest Ofsted rating
- faith designation (for primary, secondary and sixth forms)
Depending on the type of free school being proposed we will also consider other data available before making a final decision on the likely impact of a school on the local area.
