The Fusion Academy
Schools we chose for benchmarking
This is the set of similar schools we've chosen to benchmark this school's pupil and workforce data against.
We've chosen 30 similar schools to benchmark this school against running cost categories, which includes all staffing (excluding premises staff), ICT, consultancy and catering.
How we chose these schools
We chose these schools based on:
- school phase or type
- region
- number of pupils
- pupils eligible for free school meals (FSM)
- pupils with special educational needs (SEN), or proportion of various SEN provisions for special schools
SEN characteristics will be taken into account when comparators are chosen, these include:
- communication and interaction
- cognition and learning
- social, emotional, and mental health (SEMH)
- sensory and/or physical needs
