The secondary school performance tables show:

• attainment results for pupils at the end of key stage 4;
• key stage 2 to 4 progress measures in English and mathematics;
• information showing how the performance of deprived pupils compares against other pupils in the school;
• information which highlights any differences in the performance of low attaining pupils, high attaining pupils, and pupils performing at expected levels.

Additional data on schools will be published, including information on the expenditure of each maintained school open for the full financial year 2010 to 2011.

The expenditure data will take the form of spend per pupil statistics for a wide range of expenditure categories including funding and income, education staff spend and learning resources and curriculum spend. The school spend data will also contain information about the school (such as the proportion of pupils in the school eligible for free school meals), headline key stage 4 performance data and comparisons against the local authority and national averages, the numbers of teachers, teaching assistants and other school staff. It also provides the pupil teacher ratio and the mean gross salary of full-time teachers, information on the characteristics of the pupils attending the school, and pupil absence data for each school.
