The Fairer Schools Index: What it measures

The Fairer Schools Index provides a more nuanced view of school performance than traditional league tables.  Rather than focusing solely on conventional academic results, the index considers a wider range of factors, including the socio-economic background of students. This approach ensures that schools that are making a real difference are recognised for their achievements.  The index celebrates the schools that are helping students thrive, regardless of their starting point.

The Ted Wragg Trust is committed to ensuring that all students, regardless of their circumstances, have access to high-quality education.  This success in the Fairer Schools Index reflects the trust’s core values of being both ambitious and inclusive.  Through their dedication to these principles, TWT schools are creating supportive and inspiring environments where every child can flourish.
