History chart
- Strip the redundant school-name title (already the page heading)
- Default to 2 visible lines: Reading, Writing & Maths expected % (teal,
bold) + Exceeding (gold, lighter); progress score lines hidden by
default, togglable via legend
- Add dashed national average reference line for RWM (primary) or
Attainment 8 (secondary) so the school's trajectory is always in
context
- Add trend summary chip above the chart computed from the data
("↓ Peaked at 90% (2016/17), currently 70%")
- Add COVID footnote when 2019/20 and 2020/21 data is absent
Ofsted section
- Collapse the four identical "Outstanding / Outstanding / Outstanding /
Outstanding" boxes into a single prose line when all sub-grades match
the overall verdict; show individual cards only when grades differ
SATs sub-metrics
- DeltaChip vs national average on Expected level row for Reading,
Writing and Maths (national averages already in the API response)
Admissions
- Fix label: "Year 3 places per year" → "Reception places per year" for
primary schools
Pupils & Inclusion
- DeltaChip + national avg hint on Eligible for pupil premium and
Pupils receiving SEN support (both keys present in /api/national-averages)

The three at-a-glance stats were misaligned — the serif "Outstanding" tile
sat noticeably above the "70%" and "64%" numerals because the serif variant
used a smaller font. That pushed its label row ("INSPECTED NOVEMBER 2023")
up too, breaking the horizontal rhythm across the row.
- Give .heroStatNumber and .heroStatNumberSerif a shared min-height tied
to the largest clamp value, plus display: flex; align-items: flex-end.
Content bottom-aligns inside the box, so every stat's label sits at the
same Y regardless of how tall the actual glyph is.
- Bump the serif variant up slightly (1.75rem → 2.25rem clamp) so it
feels closer in weight to the numerals while still leaving room for
longer words like "Requires Improvement".

- heroChip: swap ``min-width: 180px; flex: 0 1 auto`` for
``flex: 0 0 240px`` so every chip in the strip is the same width
regardless of content. Title gets nowrap + ellipsis as insurance
against accidental overflow.
- heroChipTitle / Sub / Detail: align line-heights (1.3 / 1.4 / 1.4)
so an OEIF chip (title + sub) and a Report Card chip
(title + sub + detail) sit on the same vertical rhythm.
- heroSummary: drop the 64ch max-width — the sentence should read at
the natural hero width.

- Drop the "Above national average" chip — the DeltaChip under the 70% /
Attainment 8 number already carries the same signal, so the chip was
duplicative and added noise.
- At-a-glance stats: switch from grid(auto-fit) to flex with a fixed
3rem column gap so the numbers cluster at the start of the row rather
than spreading across the full width of the header card.
- Add to Compare button: larger padding, bumped font, soft shadow, and
self-align centre so it sits in balance with the bigger headline
rather than floating tiny in the top-right corner.

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.

- rankings: hide Type/Action columns on mobile so metric value stays visible;
ensure filter selects and table wrapper stay within viewport
- school detail: add min-width:0 / max-width:100% containment so internal
overflow-x wrappers actually clip rather than pushing the page wider;
explicit line-height on Ofsted grade badges to fix glyph clipping
- compare: sticky first column on the Detailed Comparison table so the Year
labels remain visible while horizontally scrolling school columns
- search: shorten placeholder to "School name or postcode" so it fits mobile
input width
- globals: overflow-x:clip safety net on .main wrapper

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

- Remove standalone back button div (looked out of place)
- Back button now lives in the sticky section nav bar, styled as a
bordered pill with coral accent — consistent with page design
- Fix sticky nav top offset from 0 to 3rem so it sticks below the
site-wide header instead of sliding behind it
- Increase scroll-margin-top on cards to 6rem to account for both
site header and section nav height

The EES statistics API only exposes ~13 publications; admissions data is not
among them. Switch to the EES content API (content.explore-education-statistics.
service.gov.uk) which covers all publications.
- ees.py: add get_content_release_id() and download_release_zip_csv() that
fetch the release ZIP and extract a named CSV member from it
- admissions.py: use corrected slug (primary-and-secondary-school-applications-
and-offers), correct column names from actual CSV (school_urn,
total_number_places_offered, times_put_as_1st_preference, etc.), derive
first_preference_offers_pct from offer/application ratio, filter to primary
schools only, keep most recent year per URN
Also includes SchoolDetailView UX redesign: parent-first section ordering,
plain-English labels, national average benchmarks, progress score colour
coding, expanded header, quick summary strip, and CSS consolidation.
