Why Do Some Older Inspections Have No Grade?
- Inspections before September 2005 didn't give a single overall grade, so they have no outcome here; the PDF report sets out what inspectors found.
- Letters, monitoring visits and interim assessments don't give a grade either.
Why Are Some Reports Under a Different Reference Number?
- When a school becomes an academy, or two schools merge, it gets a new unique reference number (URN), and Ofsted files the reports from before the change under the old one. They're included here so you can see the whole history in one place.
Where Does This Data Come From?
- The list of reports comes from Ofsted's Find an Inspection Report service, and the area grades come from Ofsted's monthly management information on school inspections. Both are checked once a month.
- Links between a school and the school it replaced come from the Department for Education's Get Information about Schools register.
