Maintained schools by RAG ratings
About RAG ratings
Red, amber and green (RAG) ratings are shown to give an indication of the spending compared to similar schools.
The rating is not an indication of performance. It is used to display if spending is significantly more or less than similar schools. This does not consider any individual spending strategies which might apply.
The ratings are intended for schools and trusts to identify potential areas to help them make informed spending decisions.
The size of the red bar corresponds to the proportion of red-rated cost categories for the school.
