Renames the RWM-specific .rwmHero* classes to generic .heroStat*
and reuses them on the three Pupils & Inclusion headline cards
(disadvantaged, EAL, SEN support). Grid switches to auto-fit to
accommodate both 2- and 3-card layouts. SEN primary-need breakdown
stays on the dense .metricCard style.

Top two combined cards now use a teal-tinted background with a
2.1rem Playfair serif teal value and a compact uppercase label —
consistent with the hero treatment shown in the design mockup.
Scoped via new .rwmHero* classes so other metric cards on the page
keep their existing style.

Explains the intersection semantics of RWM combined — a pupil is only
counted if they met the bar in all three subjects — with a math line
showing the per-subject percentages collapsing to the combined figure.
Only renders when all four values are present; national-average pill
markers on the cascade are untouched.

The Oversubscribed badge + "Demand exceeds capacity" text lived at
the bottom of the tile as an afterthought. It's the headline finding —
a parent should read it first, then let the Q&A supply the detail.
Replace the footer badge with a Playfair Display sentence directly
under the section title: "This school is oversubscribed." (state word
coloured coral for oversubscribed, teal for undersubscribed). The
"Demand exceeds capacity" / "Supply meets demand" line sits below as
quiet muted text — present for context but not competing with the
headline.

The "How Hard to Get Into This School" tile mixed a progress bar
(places vs first-choice) with three text metric cards, making the
data feel fragmented and hiding the real narrative. The progress bar
also broke visually when undersubscribed and didn't scale to different
school sizes.
Replace with a typographic Q&A list that answers the questions
parents actually ask — "How many places were offered?", "How many
families wanted this school first?", "How many got their first
choice?", "How many applied in total?" — with a verdict footer
(Oversubscribed / Not oversubscribed + one-sentence explanation).
The third row now uses first_preference_offers (already in the API
response) to show "27 of 42 (64.3%)" instead of just the percentage,
giving the raw count parents actually want.
Each row is independently null-gated; rows stack vertically under
480px so the Playfair numeral stays legible.

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>
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`

TypeScript compile error: 'navItems' used before its declaration.
The IntersectionObserver useEffect referenced navItems in its dep array
but was placed above the navItems const declaration. Move it to just
after navItems is built.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Uses IntersectionObserver on each section element. Multiple thresholds
(0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0) track the intersection ratio of every
section simultaneously; whichever has the highest visible ratio at any
moment becomes the active item. rootMargin offsets for the sticky nav
height so a section is only considered active once it's genuinely in
view beneath the bar.
Active link gets .sectionNavLinkActive — coral background + white text,
matching the phase tab active style used elsewhere in the product.
Observer is cleaned up on unmount.

- Drop the auto-generated italic summary sentence from the hero — adds
little beyond what the chips and stats already convey.
- Oversubscribed hero chip: tone-gold → tone-coral so it reads as a
warning rather than a neutral highlight.
- Remove unused buildSchoolSummary import and .heroSummary CSS.

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 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.

- 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.

- Backend: replace INNER JOIN ks2 with UNION ALL (ks2 + ks4) so primary
and secondary schools both appear in the main DataFrame
- Backend: add /api/national-averages endpoint computing means from live
data, replacing the hardcoded NATIONAL_AVG constant on the frontend
- Backend: add phase filter param to /api/schools; return phases from
/api/filters; fix hardcoded "phase": "Primary" in school detail endpoint
- Backend: add KS4 metric definitions (Attainment 8, Progress 8, EBacc,
English & Maths pass rates) to METRIC_DEFINITIONS and RANKING_COLUMNS
- Frontend: SchoolDetailView is now phase-aware — secondary schools show
a GCSE Results section (Att8, P8, E&M, EBacc) instead of SATs; phonics
tab hidden for secondary; admissions says Year 7 instead of Year 3;
history table shows KS4 columns; chart datasets switch for secondary
- Frontend: new MetricTooltip component (CSS-only ⓘ icon) backed by
METRIC_EXPLANATIONS — added to RWM, GPS, SEN, EAL, IDACI, progress
scores and all KS4 metrics throughout SchoolDetailView and SchoolCard
- Frontend: METRIC_EXPLANATIONS extended with KS4 terms (Attainment 8,
Progress 8, EBacc) and previously missing terms (SEN, EHCP, EAL, IDACI)
- Frontend: SchoolCard expands "RWM" to "Reading, Writing & Maths" and
shows Attainment 8 / English & Maths Grade 4+ for secondary schools
- Frontend: FilterBar adds Phase dropdown (Primary / Secondary / All-through)
- Frontend: HomeView hero copy updated; compact list shows phase-aware metric
- Global metadata updated to remove "primary only" framing

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.
