Trust average and academy context
The Summary adds a consolidated average of the academies’ GAUGED Indices. A trust-level Dashboard shows the headline averages, while a variance table shows how far each academy sits above or below the Trust average in every Index area.
This provides a useful internal reference point without ranking unlike academies. Each academy’s Index still reflects its own phase-appropriate peer group.
- Trust average for Overall Performance and each domain Index
- Academy variance above or below the Trust average
- Actual figures alongside academy GAUGED Indices
- Peer ranking, quartile and eligible peer-group size
- Full peer-group description for every academy
- Selected operational, workforce and financial measures
How to interpret the Trust average: it is the arithmetic mean of the academies’ peer-referenced Indices. It provides a consolidated portfolio view, but it is not a separately peer-benchmarked Trust Index and carries no Trust quartile or ranking.
