Primary schools in Dorset

Primary schools in Dorset

Schools are ranked on their "value added" measures (VA), which give some guide to how their pupils' attainments have improved.

A score above 100 shows pupils made more progress than similar pupils nationally; below 100 indicates less progress. Nationally the range was 105.4 to 94.2 and the average was 99.8.

The ranking needs treating with care. Official statisticians say small differences may not be significant.
