Abstract: This paper considers the equity aspect of the educational reform in English secondary education. By using data from the School Performance Tables in the North West region of England, two indices of equity measurement, the 'dissimilarity index' and the Gini coefficient, are calculated. From the results, it is found out that the disparity between schools in the region has not been a serious problem so far.
