Report an error
If something here is wrong about your school, we want to know.
Everything on this site comes from official government and council publications. Next to every figure we say where it came from and the date of our copy. That does not mean every figure is right. The original can be wrong, schools change, and we can join the wrong records together.
What is most likely to be wrong
- The wrong school. When a school becomes an academy it gets a new record. We might have used the old one. Or we might have picked a nearby school with a similar name.
- The place on the map. A few schools have an official map pin that does not match their own postcode.
- The catchment area. An area map joined to the wrong school, or one the council has redrawn since.
- Old news. A new inspection or a new year of figures that came out after our last update.
What we cannot change
We take our figures directly from the Department for Education, Ofsted and local councils. If an official figure is wrong, only the publisher can correct it. We report the errors we find to them, but until they correct it, this site shows the official figure. Where we have strong reason to doubt a figure, we remove it and say why.
Telling us
Please tell us the school's URN if you can, which figure is wrong, and what you think it should be. The URN is a number the government gives each school. You will find it on every school page, just under the name.

What happens next
What you send goes on a list, next to the problems our own checks find. We check each one against the original. Then we either fix it, or record why not. No report is ignored. Where a figure is in doubt and not yet resolved, we take it down rather than leave it up.
