School inspection data summary report (IDSR) guide
Ofsted inspectors use Inspection Data Summary Reports (IDSRs) in preparation for and during school inspections, helping to shape discussions with school leaders. The IDSR summarises and analyses school data, including multi-year information on pupil demographics, attendance, achievement, exclusions and prior attainment.
IDSRs have recently been updated to reflect 2025 data and accommodate the renewed inspection framework.
For leaders and governors/trustees, the IDSR offers a structured overview that can support internal discussions and help inform ongoing monitoring.
| You can access the report directly through our Ofsted IDSR service or through the Department for Education (DfE)’s Analyse School Performance (ASP) service. You will need a DfE Sign-in account and associated permissions for the school(s). Users who want to look at data from more than one school should use our direct link. |
