Before you write

Two things come up often enough to answer here. If a school’s Ofsted grade or exam results look out of date, they probably are: the figures come from published government releases on fixed dates, and how old each one is is set out in full. We cannot update a figure ahead of its source.

If a score looks wrong for a school you know, it may be working as intended rather than broken. How the score is worked out explains what goes into it and, more usefully, what it deliberately leaves out. It is still worth telling us: a score that surprises the people who know a school is a fair sign the method needs another look.

Anything about a specific child’s application, appeal or place has to go to the school or the local authority. This site holds published statistics and nothing about any individual, so there is nothing here that could help.
