Schooloscope

Schooloscope turns official government data about schools into easy-to-read English, and smiling faces.

The aim is to show clearly and simply what each school feels like. Are the kids happy there? Is the teaching good? If you were thinking of sending your child to this school, what would the parents there tell you about it?

A school is more than just its league table position; it’s a community of people. The site is trying to reflect that, using informative, friendly graphics that summarise each school’s mood — and providing a way in to understanding the dry reports and statistics that more usually makes up government data.

Visit Schooloscope and see how BERG has given a human face to government statistics.
