Details

These documents show the average height, using height z score and height in centimetres, for children aged 10 to 11 years measured in the NCMP between 2016 and 2020 by deprivation decile, sex, and ethnic group.

School closures in March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, meant that in 2019 to 2020 the number of children measured was around 75% of previous years. The 2019 to 2020 NCMP data only includes children measured between September 2019 and March 2020, therefore the data on average height in centimetres is not comparable with previous full measurement years.

As children are taller towards the end of the school year, the 2019 to 2020 data shows a lower average height (centimetres) compared to the previous year’s data, however, the data continues to show the same pattern by deprivation decile.

Further information on the NCMP is available in the Guidance for Analysis.
