National figures
England's published results for the 42 questions our surveys ask in the same words, with the same answers. A school that runs one of these surveys sees each of its results beside the figure here, and is told whether the gap is larger than chance would explain.
Each figure is the percentage giving the favourable answers, as published. Open a question for every answer, each phase, the source and a gap test. How the comparison works.
