Raine and Co 33 Market Place, Stevenage, SG1 1DH 01438 870 668 Energy LOCATION Performance Certificate

Below is the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) for Walkern Road Energy Performance Certificates illustrate the energy efficiency of homes on a scale from A to G. Those in Band A are the most efficient, and will usually have the lowest fuel bills. The same scale is used to define the impact of a property on the environment. Higher rated homes will usually have less impact through carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. To put this in perspective, the average property in the UK is in band D or E for both ratings. The Certificate also makes energy saving recommendations that may help reduce future energy bills. In some cases, these can be financed under the Government's Green Deal. In effect, Green Deal offers UK home-owners a loan, which is repaid through regular electricity bills. The main loan condition (the "Golden Rule") is that the amount saved each year on energy bills should be more than the cost of annual loan repayments. Note that the loan stays with the house when owners move on.

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 , 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.

LOCATION Education

How are local schools performing?

If schools are important to you, then this section sets out the published Key Performance Indicators for schools near to your prospective new home. Key Performance Indicators look primarily at how well pupils perform in their tests and examinations, as well as some other measures like attendance. If you want to know more about a particular school or college, you can also visit the Ofsted website http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/inspection-reports/find-inspection-report

Local Schools LOCATION Key Stage 0

The next page shows tables and charts divided into Key Stages and a list of respective schools local to Walkern Road. There are four main age-related Key Stages defined as:

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.

Key Stage 3 Secondary education split between key stages 3 and 4, with key stage 3 covering ages 11-13.

Key Stage 4 Key Stage 4 (ages 14-16) covers the two year period of study for GCSE level examinations.

Key Stage 5 Beyond key stage 4 is 16+ or Sixth Form provision, sometimes unofficially referred to as Key Stage 5.

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.
