Ofsted school data
A practical route to using inspection outcomes as part of school comparison.
Overview
Ofsted data is one of the most searched school quality signals, but it should be read with performance and local context.
MySchoolHub exposes inspection outcomes, judgement fields and publication dates alongside school performance metrics.
What to check in Ofsted data
Review the latest inspection publication date, overall effectiveness where available, judgement areas and safeguarding status.
Because inspection frameworks change over time, recent publication date and judgement detail matter as much as the badge.
How to use Ofsted in a shortlist
Use Ofsted to spot inspection risk, then compare Attainment 8, Progress 8, KS2 or sixth-form metrics depending on phase.
School profiles link to official inspection and performance sources so users can verify the underlying record.

Add a postcode and we rank the schools you could reach, weighting progress as heavily as you like.
