Data guidance

Description of the data sets included in this release, including information on data sources, coverage, quality and any data conventions used.

Data on numbers and types of schools that the DfE considers to be potentially eligible for improvement intervention on the basis of their Ofsted inspections. It considers for how long such schools’ Ofsted results demonstrate underperformance (to date) and which are being targeted for policy intervention from RISE (Regional Improvement for Standards and Excellence) advisers and teams. It also presents data on attainment, absence, exclusions and suspensions, and pupil characteristics for these schools. 

These data were derived by using consecutive publications from Ofsted management information on state-funded school inspections and outcomes (opens in new tab). Schools are matched on their unique reference numbers (URN) to create a history of inspection outcomes.
