Category 5 & 6 Areas

In March 2016 the Department for Education evaluated each Local Authority District and grouped them into six categories numbered 1 to 6.

Areas rated 5 and 6 are those where children were making the least progress and had the poorest access to high-quality schools. These areas also have the poorest provision of leadership support, such as National Leaders of Education and Teaching School Alliances.
