Family Groups These are set by the Welsh Assembly based on placing

schools within families of similarities and circumstances. For example, pupils receiving free school meals, pupils with special educational needs, etc.

CSI – Core Subject Indicator Pupils who achieve level 4 or above in all core subjects are

described as achieving the core subject indicator. This is an important figure for the school community, because

it shows the school’s success in raising standards across all subject areas.

Performance Data

Quartiles These are categories of performance. Schools that are in the highest performing 25% of

the family group are placed in Quartile 1 and the lowest performing 25% in Quartile 4
