The 2010 Education deprivation is mapped out below

This domain measures the extent of deprivation in terms of education, skills and training in an area. The indicators are structured into two sub-domains: one relating to children and young people and one relating to adult skills. These two sub-domains are designed to reflect the ?flow? and 'stock' of educational disadvantage within an area respectively. Seven indicators are used to calculate this domain:

1. Average points score of pupils taking English, Maths and Science Key Stage 2 exams
2. Average points score of pupils taking English, Maths and Science Key Stage 3 exams
3. Average capped points score of pupils taking Key Stage 4 (GCSE or equivalent) exams
4. Proportion of young people not staying on in school or non-advanced education above age 16
5. Secondary school absence rate - the proportion of authorised and unauthorised absences from secondary school
6. Proportion of those aged under 21 not entering Higher Education.
7. Proportion of adults aged 25-54 with no or low qualifications.
