Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2015

The map shows the spread of deprivation across Warrington along with the new ward boundaries. The most deprived areas shaded brown and red, tend to be in inner Warrington, and the least deprived shaded green, in outer Warrington.

Lower Super Output Areas (LSOAs) are small geographical units. Deprivation is measured using the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) 2015. For each LSOA, a deprivation score is calculated covering a broad range of issues: income, employment, health and disability, education and skills, housing and services, crime, and living environment. There are wide inequalities between people living in areas of high levels of deprivation and those living in areas of low deprivation; more deprived populations generally have poorer outcomes in terms of health, education etc.

All 127 LSOAs in Warrington are ordered by IMD score and have been split into six different categories.

In Warrington borough, approximately 19% of residents live in the 20% most deprived areas. Approximately 30% live in the least deprived.

Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP)

EYFSP is used to assess a child’s overall development by the age of 4/5. As well as literacy and maths, teacher assessments cover a range of elements including personal, social and emotional development, communication skills and physical development. In 2013 there were significant changes to the curriculum in the Early Years Foundation Stage; as a result the data has taken a few years to be considered robust. In 2016, performance for Warrington is above North West, Statistical Neighbour and England average.

Education (End of primary school aged 10/11) – Key Stage 2 reading, writing, maths

In 2016, there were also significant changes to how performance is measured at the end of Year 6.

However, based on the first statistical release from the Department for Education, Warrington is ranked 14th (of 152) in the country and 2nd in the North West for Reading, Writing and Maths (RWM) combined. Warrington is above the North West average, our Statistical Neighbour average and the England average in all subjects.

Education (End of secondary school aged 14/15) – Key Stage 4: Progress 8

In 2013-14 there were major reforms to Key Stage 4 which Progress 8, 2016 affected how results were calculated. Schools and local authorities are now judged on how much progress students have made since the end of primary school. Progress 8 measures the achievement of a pupil across 8 qualifications and compares this to what their estimated achievement is based on their prior attainment. It is a type of value added measure.

For all mainstream pupils nationally in 2016 the average progress score is -0.03; a positive score means pupils in the schools on average do better at KS4 than those with similar prior attainment nationally. (A score of 0.25 for example 0.2 would mean that on average pupils in the school achieved a 0.1 quarter of a grade more than other pupils nationally with similar starting points). 0

In Warrington -0.1

In Warrington in 2016, the Progress 8 score is -0.16, the -0.2 North West figure is -0.15. -0.3 Warrington is ranked 13th in the North West. -0.4 Wards with positive scores were: Appleton, Burtonwood Warrington = - 0.16 -0.5 and Winwick, Culcheth Glazebury and Croft, Grappenhall, Lymm North and Thelwall, Rixton and Woolston and -0.6 Stockton Heath.

Health – Life expectancy and mortality rate

Life expectancy is an internationally accepted measure of the overall health of a population. It provides an estimate of the average number of years a new‐born baby would live for if s/he experienced the age‐specific mortality rates of a particular area throughout his or her life. Life expectancy at birth measures broadly the same thing as all age, all‐cause mortality rates, but is often considered a more intuitive and easier to understand indicator.

Social care – Children open to Early Help services

The Early Help service identifies problems early so that support can be offered to children and young people and their families. Warrington offers a wide range of Early Help services through Children's Centres or Early Years services for pre-school children with special educational needs and disabilities. It also includes familiy outreach and a youth service. A snapshot of children and young people open to Early Help services, were mapped by the young person's postcode to each ward. In November there were 544 in total. These were then converted to a rate based on the number of 0 - 17 year olds living in each ward. The average rate for children and young people open to Early Help services in Warrington is 121.8 per 10,000 population aged 0-17. The highest rates of service users were in Orford, Fairfield & Howley, Poplars & Hulme, Bewsey & Whitecross, Latchford East and Birchwood. Numbers were too small and were therefore suppressed in Stockton Heath, Grappenhall, Lymm North and Thelwall, Great Sankey North and Whittle Hall and Westbrook.

Soci al care – Children in Need

Children in Need covers children and young people receiving a social care service. This includes those placed on a child protection plan or those looked after by the local authority as a child in care. Children receiving a service under Section 17 are also included to make up a total of approximately 1460 children and young people at the end of March 2017. Numbers were mapped by matching the young person's postcode to each ward. They were then converted to a rate based on the number of 0 -17 year olds in each ward. The average rate of Children in Need in Warrington was 326.9 per 10,000 population aged 0-17 (published data). The highest rates above the Warrington average were in Orford, Bewsey & Whitecross, Latchford East, Fairfield & Howley, Poplars & Hulme and Poulton North. The lowest rates were in Grappenhall, Great Sankey North and Whittle Hall, Appleton, Lymm North and Thelwall and Stockton Heath.

*As numbers in many wards are small and may be subject to large fluctuations from month to month, figures presented here should be treated with caution. *Figures will differ slightly to published data as rates were calculated using a recent mid-year population estimate (2016).
