Three review points on the special-schools change:
1. Copy accuracy — the context note said "Its pupils have special educational
needs" for every isSpecialSchool() match, but the helper also matches pupil
referral units and alternative provision, whose pupils are educated outside
a mainstream setting (e.g. after exclusion) and are not necessarily SEND.
Extracted a shared <SpecialSchoolNote> with type-aware copy: SEND wording
only for genuine special schools; PRUs/AP get their own accurate wording.
2. Same-school trend was conflated with the England comparison — SchoolRow's
year-over-year trend arrow (and the school's own figure) were gated on the
same flag that drops the vs-England delta, hiding a still-meaningful trend
for special schools with real data. Split the two: the school's OWN RWM
figure + trend show whenever there's a real value (special schools
included; only a placeholder all-zero row is hidden); only the vs-England
delta is additionally dropped for special/PRU/AP. Mirrored in
SecondarySchoolRow (own Attainment 8 shown; only the vs-LA delta dropped).
3. De-duplicated the .specialNote CSS (was copy-pasted between the two detail
view module files) into SpecialSchoolNote.module.css, owned by the shared
component so it can't drift.
New SpecialSchoolNote unit tests assert SEND wording for special schools and
NOT for PRUs/AP. tsc clean; 112/112 unit.

Review feedback: the rankings/search rows treated any exactly-0 attainment as
not comparable regardless of school type, so a genuine 0 at a mainstream
school rendered as "—" (looks like missing data) and dropped its delta —
stricter and inconsistent with SchoolDetailView's placeholder check.
- SchoolRow: match SchoolDetailView's ks2Placeholder signature — suppress only
when ALL of RWM + reading + writing + maths are 0 (special/suppressed
signature), not on a bare rwm === 0. A genuine 0% combined (some pupils met
individual subjects but not all three) is not all-zero, so it stays
comparable and shows its real figure + trend.
- SecondarySchoolRow: Attainment 8 is a single 0–80 score with no subject
breakdown to form an all-zero signature, so key off establishment type only
(drop the bare att8 === 0 guard). A genuine (if extreme) 0.0 shows its value
+ LA delta.
- For consistency, apply the same to the detail views: drop the bare
attainment_8_score === 0 guard (KS4 keys off isSpecial only); KS2 keeps the
all-four-subjects-zero placeholder signature.
Special schools / PRUs / AP are still handled via isSpecialSchool everywhere.
tsc clean; 108/108 unit.

Special schools, PRUs and alternative provision teach pupils with SEND who
sit the same KS2/KS4 assessments but very few reach the mainstream "expected
standard". Their headline attainment is therefore ~0% (or a very low
Attainment 8), and the site was comparing that to the England average and
painting it red — e.g. Greenmead School (a community special school) rendered
as "0.0% — −62 pts below England average" with three 0% red SATs bars. That
portrays a special school as catastrophically failing against a benchmark
that doesn't fit it.
Add a shared `isSpecialSchool()` helper (detects every DfE special-school
establishment type — all contain "special" — plus PRUs / alternative
provision) and drop the mainstream England comparison + "below" framing for
these schools across every surface:
- Detail (primary + secondary): a plain-English context note explaining the
school is special and why the comparison isn't shown; England-average delta
chips, "England avg" hints, the SATs national markers, the Attainment-8
"vs national" bar and the trend chart's England overlay are all suppressed.
An all-zero placeholder SATs row hides the (empty) subject bar chart and the
"why is combined lower" bridge.
- Rankings / search rows (primary + secondary): the mainstream RWM / Attainment
8 stat shows "—" with no "vs national" delta, instead of "0% · −62 vs
national".
- Compare: special schools' attainment values are dropped (no misleading dot
at 0% / no "Below England average" chip); progress banding, which IS a fair
measure for special schools, is kept.
Belt-and-braces zero-guard: a whole-row zero attainment (special or a
suppressed cohort) is also treated as not-comparable, while a legitimate
single 0 (e.g. 0% exceeding at a mainstream school) stays comparable.
Tests: new isSpecialSchool unit tests (every DfE special type matched, no
mainstream false positives); an e2e journey asserts Greenmead shows the
special-school note and no England-average comparison. tsc clean; 108/108 unit.

Amber tag in listing rows (option A) and a slim notice strip under the
detail-page header (option E): proposed for closure, formal process not
necessarily started, check with the local authority before applying.

Replace the faint middot separators on the characteristics line with
subtle borderless "quiet chips" so each attribute (type, age, faith,
gender) is its own scannable unit. Keep the coloured phase pill as the
one accent, and align every chip — including phase and provision tags —
to a single size/weight/radius (0.75rem / 600 / 4px).

The bare "3-11" range gave no unit. Add a display-only formatAgeRange
helper ("3-11" -> "Ages 3–11", en-dash) used in the primary/secondary
search rows and the secondary detail badge. The raw age_range field is
left untouched so sixth-form detection (.includes('18')) still works.

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.

- URLs now /school/138267-school-name instead of /school/138267
- Bare URN URLs redirect to canonical slug (backward compat)
- Remove overflow-x:hidden that broke sticky tab nav on secondary pages
- ComparisonToast starts collapsed — user must click to open

1. Simpler home page: only search box on landing, no filter dropdowns
2. Advanced filters: hidden behind toggle on results page, auto-open if active
3. Per-school phase rendering: each row renders based on its own data
4. Taller 4-line rows with context line (type, age range, denomination, gender)
5. Result-scoped filters: dropdown values reflect current search results
6. Fix blank filter values: exclude empty strings and "Not applicable"
7. Rankings: Primary/Secondary phase tabs with phase-specific metrics
8. Compare: Primary/Secondary tabs with school counts and phase metrics
