Points to note
How does Ofsted fit into this?
Ofsted inspections provide a rounded assessment of school quality, based on the intent, implementation and impact of the school’s curriculum; pupils’ personal development, behaviour and attitudes; and the leadership of the school.
We share school performance measures data with Ofsted, and it uses this to inform inspections. It is important to remember that data is a starting point for Ofsted. It is used to inform the discussions with school leaders about what they are teaching children, how they are running their school and the impact this has on children’s outcomes. School performance data on its own does not determine an inspection outcome.
You can search for schools, colleges, multi-academy trusts and sponsors in England and check their performance. You are able to view and download:
