About This Guide
This website is an independent, data-driven guide to LeAF Studio. It is designed specifically for parents and guardians who are researching secondary school options in the Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole (BCP) area. Our goal is to provide clear, objective, and comparable information.
Our Independence and Editorial Policy
We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by LeAF Studio, the AUTHENTIC EDUCATION GROUP LIMITED, or BCP Council. This site is completely independent. We believe that parents make the best decisions when they have access to raw, unvarnished data presented in a clear context.
Our editorial policy is strict: we do not invent, estimate, or modify official data. Every statistic presented on this site is retrieved directly from official government and regulatory sources. If a data point is missing from the national datasets (for example, if a specific metric was not published for a given year), we state that it is "not published" rather than attempting to fill the gap with guesses or zero values. We do not publish subjective parent reviews or unverified claims; we stick to the public record.
Data Sources
The information on this site is compiled from the following authoritative sources. The data was last snapshotted and verified on 2026-07-24.
- School Identity & Establishment Data: DfE Get Information About Schools (GIAS) bulk establishment extract
- Academic Performance: DfE Compare School & College Performance — KS4 2024-2025 (Attainment 8) & 2023-2024 (Progress 8)
- Ofsted Ratings: Ofsted 'Management information — state-funded schools — latest inspections' (Nov 2025)
- Financial Benchmarking: DfE Schools Financial Benchmarking / Explore Education Statistics
Important Caveats
- Every figure is copied from an official DfE/Ofsted dataset — none are estimated. Missing values are null, never zero.
- Progress 8 does not exist for 2024-2025 (cohort had no KS2 baseline); the 2023-2024 value is used and dated.
- Post-Sept-2024 Ofsted inspections carry no single overall grade — do not invent one.
