The clearest picture of any school in England, Wales and Scotland

Inspection reports, past judgements and school information for 29,212 schools across England, Wales and Scotland, explained in plain language for parents.

Ofsted has changed how it grades schools

Since November 2025 schools in England no longer get a single overall grade like Good or Outstanding. Instead, each inspection produces a report card that grades six areas of school life separately, with safeguarding judged on its own. Older single-grade judgements still appear on school pages, clearly dated and labelled.

How report cards work and what the grades mean

What you'll find on a school page

Every school has its own page with the latest report from the inspectorate that covers it, the judgements that came before, and the practical details parents look for: where the school is, which year groups it takes and how to get in touch. When a school has been inspected we show the framework and the date, and link straight to the full report.

Search for a school by name, or type a town or postcode to see what is nearby. If you would rather browse, the towns and local authorities further down this page open onto every school in that area, and each school page points you to the others around it.

We only show information that is published under an open licence, which is why the pages differ from one nation to the next. England publishes school-level exam results, so English pages carry performance tables; Wales and Scotland do not release the same figures, so their pages lead with the school characteristics their governments do publish. Where an inspection is written as a narrative rather than a single grade, we say so and link to the report rather than inventing one. Our data and methodology guide sets out every source and how we use it.

A starting point, not the whole story

Look at more than one school. Open the town or authority page for where you live, compare the handful your child could realistically attend, and read each school's inspection alongside its characteristics rather than on its own. Where a figure or a report is missing, the page explains why, so a blank is never left for you to guess at.

An inspection describes a school on the day the inspectors visited, and that day may have been a few years ago, so read the date as closely as the finding itself. A judgement is a useful signal rather than a final verdict. Schools change: a new head can turn a department around, and the daily feel of a place is something you only really pick up in person. Visit the schools on your shortlist, speak to staff and to other parents, and treat OfferDay as where your research begins, not where it ends.

England, Wales and Scotland

OfferDay covers every school in England, Wales and Scotland. Each nation has its own inspectorate and its own way of reporting, so we present each in its own terms and never compare one nation's judgements with another's.
