Data View

Data View shows Ofsted inspection data in simple graphs that make the data quickly and easily accessible. You can compare and contrast performance in inspections over time between regions, local authority areas and parliamentary constituencies for:

  • children’s social care providers
  • early years providers
  • further education and skills providers
  • non-association independent schools
  • initial teacher education providers
  • state-funded schools

Users can also identify individual providers by their overall effectiveness and view their inspection reports.
