On every school profile

Ofsted publishes the judgement. Mindful Eye publishes the judgement, everything around it, and how it has moved.

  • Full inspection history

    Not just the current judgement — every inspection the school has had, so you can see whether it is improving or slipping.

  • Academic Performance

    One number out of 10 combining the Ofsted judgement with DfE attainment, ranked against comparable schools in England. 5 is about average.

  • Who is in the class

    Roll, free school meals, first language and ethnicity from the school census — each measured against the schools that actually reported it.

  • Parents, not only inspectors

    Reviews from families at the school, and incidents reported by the community.

How Ofsted ratings work

Ofsted inspects schools in England and publishes a judgement for each one. Mindful Eye shows the most recent rating alongside the full inspection history, so you can see whether a school is improving or slipping.

  • Outstanding

    Exceptional practice across the board.

  • Good

    A sound standard of education and care.

  • Requires improvement

    Not yet good; specific areas fall short.

  • Inadequate

    Serious weaknesses, often with follow-up monitoring.

Ofsted began replacing single-word judgements with a report card of graded areas in 2025. Profiles show whichever framework a school was last inspected under, and label it. Read the official reports at Ofsted.
