Demographics Report - National Statistics sources
Updated
The Reports > Demographics report compares pupil demographics data to national figures.
National figures come from the government's Explore our statistics and data website and the Compare Schools service.
Insight aims to show national figures for the current year. Where these are unavailable we will use figures from the previous year. If you think any figure is out of date or incorrect, please contact the Insight support team.
Primary schools
Insight uses the national data for state-funded English primary schools. This excludes secondaries and special schools.
