Data completeness100/100

Pupil–teacher ratio: not published — independent schools aren’t in the DfE workforce census, and filed accounts don’t separate teaching staff.

Capital trend: only one year of capital spend is on record, so a multi-year under-investment signal can’t be computed yet.

Computed 2026-06-20 · pipeline ct-derived-1.0.0. Indicators, not verdicts — each is traceable to its source.

Your notes

Prototype — figures derive from public records (Charity Commission, OSCR, ISI/Ofsted/Education Scotland/Estyn, ONS Census). Some fields (pupil–teacher ratios) are not yet in the dataset and are omitted rather than estimated.
