Notes
Example School is a fictional demonstration profile. Every figure, source link and inspection detail below is invented to show how a complete Chapel & Tuck report reads — it is not a real school, and its own links point to example.com. The national benchmark lines on the results charts use the real Ofqual/JCQ series.

Reserves

Fee dependency
How much the school relies on fees versus other income. A school funded almost entirely by fees has less of a cushion if pupil numbers fall.86%

Financial security
Where this school ranks against similar schools on financial security — a blend of reserves, whether it runs a surplus or deficit, its income trend and how much it relies on fees. It sits in the top 1% of comparable schools (more secure than about 99% of them), so a smaller “top %” is stronger. A relative measure, not a verdict. In Sector Intelligence the same underlying score is shown as stress, where higher means more stretched.Top 1%

Inspection
A colour summarising the school's most recent inspection outcome. Different inspectorates (ISI, Ofsted, and the Scottish and Welsh bodies) use different systems, so results from different inspectorates aren't directly comparable.Green

Financial position
Financial-health flag: Green — no stress indicators triggered in the latest filed accounts (reserves cover, income trend, and no run of deficits are all within range). A simple green, amber or red rating summarising how financially secure a school looks, based on its published accounts. Green is reassuring; red suggests taking a closer look. It's an indicator, not a verdict.Free reserves cover 14.0 mo · endowment £18.0m · total funds £42.0m
Latest year £1.3m (5.2% of income) · income +4.8%/yr
Comfortable reserves and an operating surplus — a secure position.

Value added & progress — as the school reports it
Schools measure value added in different ways (ALPS, DfE, CEM and others), so these figures are not comparable between schools. Shown as reported, not as a score.
- The school reports: an ALPS value-added score of 2 at A-level in 2025, which it places in the top decile nationally. source
In the school's own words
Context the school publishes that isn't a like-for-like figure — shown as quoted, never plotted or compared.

Catchment demographics
These are fictional sample schools, so no catchment data is shown — a real map would give away the school’s actual location. On a live profile, this section maps the demographics of the drive-time catchment (population, age mix, education, occupation and ethnicity), drawn from the 2021 Census.
Market penetration
Market penetration
Where this school actually recruits from, set against where the opportunity is — so affluent areas it under-serves become a named list. Needs the school's own pupil postcodes.
This section shows analysis of data supplied by the school, visible only to the school’s own verified account.
Computed from school-provided pupil postcodes (aggregated to sector, suppressed below 5) against Chapel & Tuck Area Opportunity. First-party data, held under a data-processing agreement.
