Hub Data Dashboard

The Hub Data Dashboard contains annual survey Hub data from 2012-13, through to our most recently published data from 2022-23.

We hope that this will enable Hubs and interested stakeholders to share data more easily, as well as benchmark performance and explore regional and national trends.

The data is supplemented with national data from the Department for Education’s data service: Get Information About Schools and provides tables and graphs to illustrate and compare key data.

Prior to the creation of this dashboard we commissioned an independent report summarising Hubs’ annual performance against key performance indicators.

These reports are available to download in the next section. 

The dashboard contains a ‘Context’ page setting out key points for consideration when interpreting Hub data.
