Ofsted is pleased to announce that it has released the 2021 inspection data summary report (IDSR) to allow schools and inspectors access to the latest available data. You can access your IDSR directly through our Ofsted IDSR service or as a link through the DfE’s Analyse School Performance (ASP). Both are located on DfE Sign-in, of which you will need an account to access and associated permissions for the school/s.
Owing to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, 2019 data is the latest available results data. School performance may vary yearly, and because of the uneven impact of COVID-19 on pupils and schools, 2019 data may no longer reflect a school’s current performance. The IDSR displays both 2021 and 2019 census data to allow users to view the latest contextual data and the data for pupils who took key stage 4 exams or key stage 2 tests in 2019.
The following has been updated:
- contextual information based on the January 2021 census
- exclusions data has been updated to the final release of 2019/20
- autumn 2020 one term absence release with pupil group data
- 2021 key stage 4 subject entries data
- latest key stage 4 destinations data
- latest school workforce census data
- latest MAT/LA data
- latest financial data.
The school sixth form section has not been updated, yet. This update will be in early 2022 which will also include two term absence data and several developments following feedback from schools and local authorities. We will communicate this release and the changes closer to the time.
Please ensure you download the latest version of your IDSR, which will have 12 November 2021 release date.
In addition to these data updates, we have released some minor developments and have published an updated HTML guidance document for the IDSR. This includes example/anonymised IDSRs and supporting data tables in accessible ODS format.
