What the measures mean

How to read the live comparison

  • Attendance: comes from the current public school metrics seam when that row is available.
  • Pupil count: gives a rough size signal only and does not tell you whether the school is right for your child.
  • Latest Ofsted outcome: is source-aware and can mean a graded judgement, a not-judged inspection, or no current URN match in the current Ofsted feed.

Known caveats

  • Latest Ofsted outcome can mean a graded judgement, a not-judged inspection, or no current URN match in the current Ofsted source, so do not treat it as a complete quality ranking on its own.
  • The current live school seam is England-only through Get Information About Schools, with nation-specific adapters still to come.
  • Distance labels are only precise when the query resolves to an exact postcode with geometry; district and area searches show broader location context instead.
