Does anyone know where (on the internet) I can have a look at my local schools' performance results? Are they available to the public? xx

These can change so much each year but the ofsted reports usually tell you all you need to know the school

ah brill !!! thanks chick xx

Ofsted only applies to England which I didnt realise but I managed to get a link for our own inspectorate for Wales called Estyn.

How often do they do them? The school I want Cerys to go to last had one in 2007 x

I couldnt find anything for NI online. I did find a news article from Jan 2011 from our education minister saying GCSE league tables here were being abolished and would no longer be published as they are unfair. Apparently a large number of teachers here agree. Something to do with how as we still have selective education (11+/entrance tests) they dont show the whole aspect of education thats offered.

I wish I did have the option to check that type of thing. x

If they are a good school they get intermin assessments, and if the inspector thinks they are still good they don't need to be inspected for 5 years

What is it saying? The one I want Izzy to go to gets 2 Good for most stuff, but lots of 1 Outstandings too!

yeah the less reports and more years between reports is always a good indicator

ah I see, thanks Clare x
