IDSR newsletter: 27 September 2022

We have published the Schools Pre-Inspection Data and Insight teams third inspection data summary report (IDSR) newsletter.

The planned release date for the primary IDSR and context data is October 2022.

This will include:

• January 2022 census based contextual information (all schools)
• exclusions 2020/21 data (all schools)
• phonics screening test data for 2022
• key stage 1 attainment data for 2022
• key stage 2 attainment and progress data for 2022

The planned release date for the secondary IDSR is November 2022.

This will include:

• key stage 4 attainment and progress data for 2022
• key stage 5 qualification type entry data for 2022
• key stage 5 retention data for 2022
• key stage 5 average point score per entry for 2022
• key stage 5 best 3 A levels and AAB including at least 2 facilitating subjects for 2022

The 2022 data will be available to inspectors later this term. This data is presented separately because of the uneven impact of the pandemic on schools and variability. Comparisons should not be made with data from earlier years. As always, inspection judgements will not be based on data and evidence alone. Ofsted will use this data with caution and take the COVID-19 context into account when forming a rounded judgement about a school.

IDSR release: 6 June 2022

Removal of early years foundation stage (EYFS) data

Following EYFS reforms and changes to the administration and moderation of EYFS profile data, Ofsted has decided to remove the EYFS profile from the IDSR as of 6 June.

This is in line with action taken by the Department of Education for Analyse School Performance (ASP).

IDSR release: 19 May 2022

We have updated the inspection data summary report (IDSR) with absence data from summer term 2021, based on the DfE published data. We have not included spring 2021 in the IDSR as this was heavily affected by the lockdown from 4 January 2021.

We have also updated the finance data in the context section to 2020/21.
