Quality of Life The Quality of Life (QoL) survey is an annual snapshot of the quality of life in Bristol, including community cohesion, crime, health, sustainability and satisfaction with services. It is the council's main tool for providing neighbourhood level statistics and public perception information. The 3 pages here are the Priority Indicators from Quality of Life 2020-21.

Crime Avon and Somerset Police provide statistics on Offences in Bristol. This is new data, covers 2020-21. Further notes:
- The data is unaudited figures extracted from a live police dataset. Owing to the ongoing nature of police investigations the information is subject to change and may differ from subsequent national crime statistics, which are quality assured by statisticians. The data only includes incidents where exact location of the offence has been recorded. The crime rate per 1,000 has been calculated using offence location and population estimates provided by Bristol City Council.
- Further Police performance data is available at www.police.uk.
- Youth Offending data has been provided by the Youth Offending Team, Bristol City Council. This is the number of offenders (10-17 year olds) who committed an offence during 2020-21 whilst living in that ward at the time, as a rate per 1,000 of the 10-17 years population in that ward.
Education
The figures are based on all children in Bristol local authority maintained schools, academies and free schools (but not Independent schools). The Bristol total will include pupils who live outside the area, but the ward figures will not.
- Attainment 8 and Progress 8 are measures from the Department for Education (DfE) for pupils at the end of Key Stage 4 (age 16). They are ways to measure overall GCSE performance and to encourage students to take at least 8 qualifications. Attainment 8 is a student’s average achievement across 8 subjects, with extra weighting given to Maths and English. Although it is not compulsory to take eight subjects, failing to do so will reduce a pupil’s Attainment 8 score. Progress 8 is a value added measure which compares how well a student does when compared to other pupils with the same prior attainment at the end of Key Stage 2. Note - DfE formal explanation of Progress 8 and Attainment 8 is at: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/783865/Secondary_accountability_measures_guidance.pdf.
- The primary indicator for pupils at end of Key Stage 2(leaving primary school) is now "% Key Stage 2 pupils achieving the expected standard in reading, writing and maths". This is slightly different to the previous indicator.
- Education attainment data for 2019 (for Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 4 pupils) is from the Dept for Education "Key to Success" secure website, processed via Bristol City Council, and ward data is based on pupil home address. Further information by school can be found at the Department for Education website www.compare-school-performance.service.gov.uk.
- Early Years pupils pupils achieving a good level of development (Source: School statutory submissions for Assessments at end of Reception Year, 2019).
- Free School Meals is pupils “eligible for free school meals on the day of the School Census” (Source: January 2020 School Census).
- Disadvantaged is pupils who have “ever been Looked After / In Care, been adopted or been eligible for free school meals at any point in the last 6 years” (Source: Jan 2020 School Census, updated at end of the school year with Department for Education data on looked after children (in care)).
- Special Educational Needs is all levels of special educational need. That is pupils with an Education and Health Care Plan or receiving School Support (Source: Jan 2020 School Census).
- English as Additional Language (Source: January 2020 School Census).
- Absence - Absence rates based on sessions missed (a session equals half a day) (Source: all three 2019 School Censuses (Jan, May & Oct) combined, to give an average for the 2018-19 school year).
Child Poverty
This release contains annual official statistics on the number of children living in relative low income families by local area across the United Kingdom. These statistics replace earlier Official Statistics previously published by DWP (Children in out-of-work benefit households) and HMRC (Personal tax credits: Children in low-income families local measure). This new statistic is not comparable with that reported in previous versions of the ward profiling tool. Although the figures are calibrated to the Households Below Average Income (HBAI) survey, 3-year regional averages of children living in low income households, it provides a more coherent picture of children living in low income families by local area not found in the HBAI.
