What do Ofsted grades mean?
  • Outstanding (1) – Highest judgement.
  • Good (2) – Strong overall effectiveness.
  • Requires improvement (3) – Not yet good.
  • Inadequate (4) – Significant weaknesses.
Ungraded visits (Section 8) check whether the previous grade still stands (e.g. “School remains Good”) but don’t replace the last graded judgement.

Frequently asked questions

Straightforward answers for families and analysts.

What information can I find here about Adelaide School?
This page gives you a clear picture of Adelaide School. You’ll find the latest Ofsted grade, the inspection history, pupil numbers, free school meal levels, special educational needs provision, contact details, admissions and governance information, local context, and performance data such as GCSE results, Progress 8, EBacc entry, KS5 destinations (if available), and how the school compares with others nearby.
What do the ranges like “≈ 300” or “40–50%” mean?
They are privacy-friendly previews for free users. Counts are rounded (e.g., ≈300 pupils) and percentages are shown in bands (e.g., 40–50%). Pro members see exact numbers.
What does “provisional” mean on KS4 results?
Provisional results are early figures that can change after checks (late entries, remark outcomes). Final results replace them when the Department for Education publishes the confirmed data.
What is Progress 8 (P8)?
P8 shows how much progress pupils made in this school compared with similar pupils nationally. 0 is average; positive is above average; negative is below. Some years also include a confidence range.
What is Attainment 8 (A8)?
A8 is the average GCSE score across 8 subjects: English and Maths (double-weighted), three EBacc subjects, and three Open subjects.
What is EBacc entry and achievement?
EBacc is a set of core subjects (English, Maths, Science, a language, History or Geography). Entry = pupils who took them. Achievement = pupils who reached the grade threshold (4+ or 5+).
What is the difference between FSM “Ever” and “Current”?
FSM Ever (Ever6) counts pupils who have been eligible for Free School Meals in the last six years. Current FSM is eligibility at the time of the census.
What are “sustained destinations”?
They show what pupils did after Year 11 or Sixth Form and whether they stayed in that destination for a set period the next year (education, employment, apprenticeships).
Why are some values shown as “n/a”?
It can mean the figure was not published, was suppressed for small numbers, does not apply for that phase, or is not yet available for that year.
