Details

This publication presents analyses of National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) data collected in the 2020 to 2021 school year by upper tier local authority of child residence and upper tier local authority of school for children in Reception (age 4 to 5) and Year 6 (age 10 to 11). It shows prevalence of underweight, healthy weight, overweight, obesity, and severe obesity for local authorities where 75% or more child measurements were submitted compared to previous full measurement years (2016 to 2017 and 2018 to 2019). The accompanying statistical commentary explains how this data should be interpreted and why it is different to previous years of the NCMP.

The NCMP is an annual programme that measures the height and weight of children in Reception and Year 6 in state maintained schools in England.
