LOCATION Authorities

Get to know your local authorities

Local government directly affects quality of life, particularly when it comes to council tax, planning, waste disposal and the impact of local policies. You may want to investigate how this is likely to affect you if you decide to move. There are nearly 400 local authorities in England, with five different types of local government structure. These can be broadly divided into single-tier and two-tier authorities. Single-tier authorities are Metropolitan Authorities, London Boroughs and Unitary or Shire Authorities. Two-tier authorities have both a County Council, and a District Council or City Council. There are also around 10,000 parish and town councils, effectively creating an additional tier in some areas - mostly, but not exclusively, in rural areas. The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) represents and works on behalf of these community councils and is a useful contact point.

Special schools are marked with this icon Key Stage Definition

Key Stage 0 Marker / indicator - no legal definition

Key Stage 1 Fits broadly with the first stage of education, i.e. ages 5-7.

Fits the later stage of primary education, often known as junior schools, i.e. ages 8-11. This takes pupils up Key Stage 2 to the standardised break at age 11 after which pupils generally change schools and transfer to secondary education.

Value Added

As well as actual pupil performance in tests and exams, an important Key Performance Indicator is that of Value Added.

When pupils start a school, they all have varying levels of ability and social advantage. A school's Value Added score measures how much progress they have made from the beginning to the end of their compulsory secondary education (i.e. between the end of Key Stage 2 and the end of Key Stage 4). It is a quick measurement of the effect of a school on its pupils.
