Ofsted Announce Annual School Report Cards
The regulator Ofsted have announced they will publish annual report cards, showing schools exam results and attendance records.
The announcement of the one-page public overview for every primary and secondary in England comes amid concerns that governors need more information to hold their schools to account.
Sir Michael Wilshaw, Ofsted's chief inspector, warned that some school governors were not up to scratch and would rather spend time "looking at the quality of lunches and not enough on maths and English".
The new report card – the "school data dashboard" – will give information on how well a school is performing in test and exam results, as well as attendance, compared with other similar schools.
Ofsted will publish the documents, updated annually, for more than 20,000 state primary and secondary schools.
