Mobile mockup — proposed /compare. Mobile-first layout: measures stack vertically with all schools under each, so nothing needs horizontal swiping. Same live data as the desktop mockup.

## Ofsted inspection

Ofsted stopped giving a single overall grade in September 2024 (inspections until November 2025 kept the area-by-area judgements); from November 2025 new inspections produce a report card rating each area of school life (Exceptional · Strong standard · Expected standard · Attention needed · Urgent improvement). A report card and an older grade aren't directly comparable. Ofsted's "Expected standard" rating is unrelated to the KS2 test measure below.

## How children do academically

End of Year 6 national tests and teacher assessments (2024/25) — writing is teacher-assessed. Each line runs 0–100%; the grey tick is the England average.

More measures — grammar, punctuation & spelling, science, scaled scores

Strips show the 100–120 window of the full 80–120 scaled-score range; 100 is the expected standard (the strip widens if a school averages below it). England ticks for GPS and science aren't in our dataset yet, and the scaled-score ticks are indicative — official DfE figures will be loaded before launch.

## Getting a place

September 2026 entry. "First choice" = families who ranked the school top of their form (officially a "first preference"). Schools never see your ranking — places go by the admission criteria alone. Figures are National Offer Day offers; waiting lists and appeals can change the final intake.

First-choice families offered a place
Barclay97%Named on 457 forms · 180 places
Elmhurst73% Over 1 in 4 missed outNamed on 342 forms · 120 places — check the school's admission criteria (for most non-faith primaries, distance decides)
Plumcroft100%Named on 185 forms · 80 places · every first choice offered

Sources: DfE Compare School Performance, Ofsted inspection outcomes, DfE admissions data, school census — all from datasets SchoolCompare already collects. England averages for test results are official DfE figures; FSM, language, SEN, size and disadvantaged-pupil benchmarks are computed across state schools in our dataset. Plumcroft's Ofsted report card is a made-up example of the November 2025 format (its real latest inspection is Good, June 2023). Following DfE practice, figures based on 5 or fewer pupils are suppressed and shown as "no data". Static mockup — tooltips and "+ Add" are illustrative.
