In plain words

Pupils per qualified teacher. Lower is better.

Let's talk it through

PLACEHOLDER — the real conversation lands here. Picture a short, friendly walkthrough of this chart: what Pupil-Teacher Ratio Over Time has been doing over time, how this school compares with its local area and England, and the one question worth asking at an open day.

PLACEHOLDER — a second beat will read the actual numbers, e.g. “the gap to England has narrowed two years running”, so the chart feels explained rather than just displayed.

Prototype slide — placeholder copy, real metric descriptions coming later.

Pupils per qualified teacher — lower means more qualified staff per pupil. The England line is the national average.
