Ofsted’s new report cards for schools will debut in autumn 2025, focusing on key areas like behavior and leadership to help parents make informed choices.
Instead of saying a school is “outstanding” or “inadequate,” the new system will focus on specific areas. Parents will see how schools handle behavior, leadership, and attendance.
The new report cards will also check if schools meet their safeguarding duties. This change aims to give parents clearer insights into school performance.
