Upgrades the existing "Pupils" stat to include a compact split bar and
percentage hint for mixed schools (single-sex schools already carry a
"Boys's/Girls's school" badge, so the split would be redundant).
Wires fact_pupil_characteristics into the API: new SQLAlchemy model and
a real census block in /api/schools/{urn} replacing the prior null stub.
On the primary detail page the inline "Pupils: 241" text is replaced by
a richer block (display number + bar + "52% girls · 48% boys"). On the
secondary detail page the existing "Total pupils" hero stat card grows
the bar and hint beneath the number. Both fall back to the previous
text-only rendering when census gender data is missing.

P1 (backend/data_loader.py): Add load_latest_school_data() which pre-computes
the one-row-per-school latest-year snapshot (groupby, prev-year trend merge)
once at startup instead of on every /api/schools request. get_schools route
now starts from the cached snapshot rather than rebuilding it.
S3 (backend/app.py): Wrap synchronous geocode_single_postcode() call in
asyncio.to_thread() so postcode lookups no longer block the uvicorn event
loop. Admin reload endpoint also uses to_thread for both cache primes.
P2 (nextjs-app/components/HomeView.tsx): Add mapParamsRef guard so switching
back to map view does not re-fetch 500 schools when search params haven't
changed. Reset ref on new searches so fresh data is always fetched.
P3 (nextjs-app/lib/chartSetup.ts): Extract Chart.js registration into a
shared side-effect module. ComparisonChart and PerformanceChart now import
it instead of each calling ChartJS.register() independently.
P4 (backend/database.py): Remove unnecessary db.commit() from the read-only
get_db_session() context manager — saves a DB round-trip on every request.
P5 (backend/database.py): Add pool_recycle=1800 to SQLAlchemy engine to
prevent stale TCP connections from accumulating in long-running processes.

The staging model aliased EES's total_number_places_offered column as
published_admission_number, but PAN is the school's published capacity
(not exposed by EES at school level) — what we actually have is the
count of places offered in a given admissions round. The misnomer
propagated to the mart, SQLAlchemy model, API response, TS types, and
UI copy ("places per year", "(PAN)").
Rename end-to-end and fix the UI labels:
- "29 places for 42 first-choice applications"
→ "29 places offered for 42 first-choice applications"
- "Reception/Year 7 places per year"
→ "Reception/Year 7 places offered"
- drop the misleading "(PAN)" suffix in the secondary view
Also add a comment in stg_ees_admissions clarifying this is the number
of places offered, not PAN. Requires dbt to rebuild fact_admissions
(marts are materialized as tables) before the backend can start.

Redesign the School Details page for better parent comprehension:
- New SatsChart component: horizontal cascade bars with ruler scale and
national average marker (teal/coral palette matching site theme)
- Admissions section: visual progress bar showing 1st-preference demand
vs available places, colour-coded by oversubscription status
- Historical data: collapse raw year-by-year table behind a disclosure
element while keeping the performance line chart always visible
- EAL metric: add national average comparison via DeltaChip (backend now
includes eal_pct in national averages endpoint)
- New formatWithSuppression utility for null/suppressed data handling
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Add ofsted_framework field to School type
- Add OfstedListBadge interface and buildOfstedListBadge pure function to utils.ts
- Add fetchNationalAverages API function that calls GET /api/national-averages
- Add test suite for buildOfstedListBadge (all 6 new tests pass)

Previously the dashed reference line was a flat horizontal at the latest
year's national average across all historical data, implying the national
figure was constant. Now the backend returns per-year averages in `by_year`
and the chart maps each data year to its own national average, so the
reference line correctly reflects how the national picture changed over time
(including COVID recovery dip/recovery).
- backend: /api/national-averages now includes `by_year` list alongside
existing `year`/`primary`/`secondary` latest-year snapshot
- types: NationalAverages extended with `by_year: NationalAveragesYear[]`
- PerformanceChart: accepts `nationalByYear` prop; builds per-year series
aligned to school data years, falling back to scalar prop if absent
- SchoolDetailView + SecondarySchoolDetailView: pass `nationalAvg.by_year`

The staging model was mapping EES column ``proportion_1stprefs_v_totaloffers``
straight onto ``first_preference_offer_pct``. That raw column is not a
percentage — it is a ratio of first-preference applications to total offers
(an oversubscription indicator, >1 means oversubscribed), so OLQH rendered
as "1%" when the true first-choice success rate is 27/42 = 64%.
The frontend display code is not at fault and is not patched here —
data-quality issues must be fixed at the source.
- stg_ees_admissions: compute ``first_preference_offer_pct`` as
``100 * number_1st_preference_offers / times_put_as_1st_preference`` —
of families who listed this school first, the % that received an offer
(0–100). Guard against divide-by-zero.
- stg_ees_admissions: expose the legitimate EES ratio as the new column
``oversubscription_ratio`` (1st-preference applications per place) for
future use, clearly named.
- fact_admissions, FactAdmissions model, data_loader: propagate the new
``oversubscription_ratio`` column.
- SchoolAdmissions type: document both columns inline.
- buildSchoolSummary: reword the oversubscription clause so it reads
sensibly across the whole 0–100 range (no more "just 64%").
- Hero chip subtitle: clearer phrasing "X% of first-choice applicants
offered a place".
Requires a dbt run of stg_ees_admissions and fact_admissions on deploy
so the new column materialises.

The API returns ``framework`` as the literal string "NULL" for older OEIF
inspections (it comes from the upstream ``event_type_grouping`` column),
not real null. The original render path checks ``=== 'ReportCard'`` and
correctly treats anything else as OEIF — but buildOfstedHeroChip inverted
that and treated anything not exactly equal to ``'OEIF'`` as Report Card,
so OLQH (inspected Nov 2023, Outstanding) was being labelled as a Report
Card school in the hero strip and the at-a-glance tile.
- Invert the helper: only branch into Report Card when framework is
explicitly ``'ReportCard'``; treat OEIF / null / "NULL" / anything else
as OEIF, and require ``overall_effectiveness`` to render the grade word.
- Replace the toneClass field (which reused .ofstedGrade{N} / .rcGrade{N}
badge classes and dragged in their backgrounds) with a clean tone enum
``teal | green | gold | coral | neutral``. The serif Ofsted heroStat
picked up the badge background and rendered as a green box around
"Report Card" — gone now.
- Hero chip backgrounds use color-mix() against the tone variable so all
five tones share one rule.

Elevates the primary school detail hero from a flat report header into a
scannable editorial block. Parents can read the headline signal in seconds.
- A1: bump .schoolName to clamp(2rem, 5vw, 3.25rem) Playfair.
- A2: framework-aware signal chip strip via new buildOfstedHeroChip() helper.
Branches on ofsted.framework so Report Card schools never show a fake
overall grade — they get "Ofsted Report Card" + inspection date +
Safeguarding: Met/Not met. OEIF schools keep the grade word.
- A3: oversized Playfair stats — Reading, Writing & Maths % (primary) or
Attainment 8 (secondary) with inline DeltaChip vs national, Ofsted
verdict with tone colouring, and first-choice offer rate.
- B1: italic serif one-sentence summary via buildSchoolSummary() helper,
also framework-aware so Report Card schools are described by framework,
not a synthetic grade.
- C1: new DeltaChip component reused in the two headline KS2 metric cards
(rwm_expected_pct, rwm_high_pct).
All copy uses "Reading, Writing & Maths" in full. Secondary detail view
untouched in this slice.

Add coloured left-border and phase label pill to visually differentiate
school phases (Primary, Secondary, All-through, Post-16, Nursery) in
search result lists. Colours are accessible (WCAG AA) and don't clash
with existing Ofsted/trend semantic colours.

Ofsted replaced single overall grades with Report Cards from Nov 2025.
Both systems are retained during the transition period.
- DB: new framework + 9 RC columns on ofsted_inspections (schema v4)
- Integrator: auto-detect OEIF vs Report Card from CSV column headers;
parse 5-level RC grades and safeguarding met/not-met
- API: expose all new fields in the ofsted response dict
- Frontend: branch on framework='ReportCard' to show safeguarding badge
+ 8-category grid; fall back to legacy OEIF layout otherwise;
always show inspection date in both layouts
- CSS: rcGrade1–5 and safeguardingMet/NotMet classes

Adds a full data integration pipeline for enriching school profiles with
supplementary data from Ofsted, GIAS, EES, IDACI, and FBIT.
Backend:
- Bump SCHEMA_VERSION to 3; add 8 new DB tables (ofsted_inspections,
ofsted_parent_view, school_census, admissions, sen_detail, phonics,
school_deprivation, school_finance) plus GIAS columns on schools
- Expose all supplementary data via GET /api/schools/{urn}
- Enrich school list responses with ofsted_grade + ofsted_date
Integrator (new service):
- FastAPI HTTP microservice; Kestra calls POST /run/{source}
- 9 source modules: ofsted, gias, parent_view, census, admissions,
sen_detail, phonics, idaci, finance
- 9 Kestra flow YAMLs with scheduled triggers and 3× retry
Frontend:
- SchoolRow: colour-coded Ofsted badge (Outstanding/Good/RI/Inadequate)
- SchoolDetailView: 7 new sections — Ofsted sub-judgements, Parent View
survey bars, Admissions, Pupils & Inclusion / SEN, Phonics, Deprivation
Context, Finances
- types.ts: 8 new interfaces + extended School/SchoolDetailsResponse

Replace the school card grid with a scannable row list that shows 3x more
results per screen. Each row shows: school name + R,W&M % with trend,
area/type meta, and reading/writing/maths progress scores with plain-English
band labels (e.g. "above average") instead of raw numbers.
Add lib/metrics.ts as a single source of truth for plain-language metric
explanations and the progressBand() helper. Map view toggle is unchanged.
