UKCES Employer Skills Survey 2011 [comparable with UKCESS 2013 main report]

The UK Commission’s Employer Skills Survey (UKCESS) is the largest of its kind on the world. It gives a comprehensive and robust picture of skills needs and training investment in UK business. Topics covered in the survey include training and staff development, vacancies and skills shortages, employee skill gaps and the recruitment of education leavers.

The UKCESS 2011 was the first UK-wide employer skills survey. The results provide a comprehensive source of data for users:

• Employers can identify how they compare to their sector in their provision of training or own experience of skill deficiency and identify key challenges and opportunities for their sector;

• Individuals and careers advisers can identify sectors and occupations experiencing particular shortages;

• Providers of training and development can use the results to help shape provision to need in their locality or their specialist areas

Please note that these tables are to be used in comparison with the UKCESS 2013 main report. 2011 data that is comparable to the UKCESS 2011 main report is available at: http://data.gov.uk/dataset/the-uk-commissions-employer-skills-survey . This is due to a change in sampling strategy for the 2013 survey. More information is available in the 2013 technical report and the Guide to using the 2011 Employer Skills Survey data tables, both available as an ‘Additional Link’ below).

Huntingdonshire mid 2010 population estimates

Spreadsheet of mid 2010 population estimates for Huntingdonshire. The data is of estimates of the total population by wards and parishes in Huntingdonshire. Parish data is available for 1991, 2001 and 2010. For ward and district level the data is only available for 2001 and 2010 due to electoral changes in 2002. Therefore data would not be comparable. You can see the % the population has changed for each ward and parish from 2001 to 2010. There is also the area in hectares of each ward and parish. A separate sheet contains population estimates of each district in Cambridgeshire. (Excluding Peterborough) Users are reminded that year-on-year variations in population estimates, particularly for smaller settlements, may not reflect real changes, but may rather be the result of technical adjustments, rounding effects, or random variations in the coverage of administrative sources such as electoral registers. 

Please note: The Cambridgeshire Research Group produce regular population estimates and forecasts.  Please check our pages for the latest version of the data.

Help to Buy Equity Loan Scheme, by postcode district.

This data set contains Help to Buy: Equity Loan statistics at postcode district level. The figures cover the launch of the scheme on 1 April 2013 until 31 October 2014.

Information on the allocation of completed sales to postcode districts is derived using the latest available information on the full postcode for each scheme. Figures have been attributed to an individual postcode sector by reconciling data against the ONS Postcode Directory (May 2014) where possible. Figures may be subject to revision later in the year.

For sales before 31 March 2014, properties are included under the local authority district to 
which they were initially allocated. In some cases, this differs from latest information, which forms the basis of the first column of local 
authority district figures. Figures for some local authorities may be subject to revisions later in the year. Although local authority 
information is validated against other geographic data at the time of data entry, detailed reconciliation of the data, conducted twice a year, 
may result in a small number of changes to these monthly releases, for example where a new development crosses a local authority boundary. 						

An equity loan is Government financial assistance given to eligible applicants to purchase an eligible home through a Government equity mortgage 
secured on the home. The Government equity mortgage is ranked second in priority behind an owner’s main mortgage lender. 



This scheme offers up to 20 per cent of the value as Government assistance to purchasers buying a new build home. The buyer must provide a cash deposit of
at least 5 per cent and a main mortgage lender must provide a loan of at least 75 per cent. 

The Government assistance to buy is made through an 
equity loan made by the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) to the purchaser. 

Help to Buy equity loans are only available on new build homes and the maximum purchase price is £600,000. Equity loan assistance for purchasers 
is paid via house builders registered with the HCA to participate in the Help to Buy equity loan initiative. The payment is made to builders 
(via solicitors) at purchaser legal completion. 

The equity loan is provided without fees for the first five years of ownership. 

The property title is held by the home owner who can therefore sell their home at any time and upon sale should provide the government the value 
of the same equity share of the property when it is sold.

Teacher Assessments at Key Stage 2 and 3

Achievements of eligible pupils in National Curriculum teacher assessments at Key Stage 2 (KS2) and Key Stage 3 (KS3). This typically represents 11 year olds at KS2 and 14 year olds at KS3. The figures reported are based on teacher assessments. The teacher assessments measure pupils' attainment against the levels set by the National Curriculum in the whole subject over the academic year. They measure the extent to which pupils have the specific knowledge, skills and understanding which the National Curriculum expects pupils to have mastered by the end of the Key Stage. The National Curriculum standards have been designed so that most pupils will progress by approximately one level every two years. This means that by the end of KS2, pupils are expected to reach Level 4. When presenting analyses that refer to expected level at Key Stage 3, the Department's practice is to measure against those pupils achieving Level 5 or above.
