Stat section

Why use a stat section component

The stat component is suitable for accolades and facts that can be summarised with one key word or statistic.

The statistic should have impact and make sense at a glance. It should be no lower than "Top 10" and over "90%".

You must reference the source of the statistic every time. Include time frames, publication date or other important details that help to present the information accurately.

You can link to the source of the statistic where applicable.

Example

100%

of BSc(Hons) Cyber Security and Digital Forensics students are in graduate-level employment 15 months after graduating. Graduate Outcome Survey, 2021-22 (published 2024).

How to create a stat section component

You can include between one and three statistics in the component.

The stat should include:

• a single number or word
• a suffix or symbol such as %, th or rd
• the source of the statistic and additional context
• if possible, a link to the source of the statistic.

Recommended word count

Keep the stat and summary sentence as concise as possible.

Creating a stat 

• In Sitecore, go to Components > Stat Section > Stats
• Create a new Stat folder (green folder) if needed to group the stats by source. For example Guardian League Table.
• Once created, add details of a new stat item. Naming format should be the subject area followed by year of the stat . For example Architecture 2026
• Submit and publish.

Please note: the stat item will need to be submitted and published and then the Stat folder will need to be published with sub-items checked.

• Within the same Stat Section go into the relevant folder depending on the web area such as 'courses' and create a new Stat Card Section.
• Use the Stats Section Stats selector boxes to locate and select the stats to display in the selected column.
• Up to eight statistics can be added.
• Submit and publish the stat.
