There may not be a report for a school because:

  • a newly registered school hasn’t been inspected yet
  • an inspection has taken place recently, but the report hasn’t been published yet
  • a school that has recently become an academy may not have been inspected yet
  • an ‘outstanding’ school that has become an academy may be exempt from routine inspection.
