FAQ
Common questions
What are the nine pillars?
Academic outcomes, university destinations, future-ready, pastoral care, pupil flourishing, value-add, access, parent voice and external inspection. Each weight is published.
Can schools pay to rank higher?
No. Schools cannot pay to climb, edit a score or change a weight, and claiming a profile makes no difference.
What is a confidence score, and why does it matter?
It shows how complete a school's data is. Thin data is flagged, not guessed.
How is this different from other school league tables?
Most tables rank one exam metric. The Index publishes nine pillars, their weights and a confidence score.
Is the Index free to use?
Yes, including the full methodology, with no account needed.
