Want to feel more confident interpreting your school’s Inspection Data Summary Report (IDSR)?
The primary Inspection Data Summary Report (IDSR) can feel overwhelming – but understanding it is essential for leaders who want to interpret their school’s data in a national context with confidence and clarity. This practical, interactive session will help you make sense of the IDSR and understand how inspectors use it during inspection.
You’ll be guided through the key elements of the report, why the contextual information matters, and how to interpret the data points that inspectors pay close attention to.
What we’ll cover
- What the data in a primary IDSR actually means and how to navigate the report.
- Why contextual information is important and how it shapes interpretation.
- How to understand key data points and what they indicate about your school’s performance.
- How Ofsted uses the IDSR during inspection and what leaders should be prepared to discuss.
Who is this event for?
This session is ideal for new leaders, senior leaders, phase leaders… basically anyone who wants to build confidence in understanding and using the IDSR effectively.
Bring your latest IDSR (accessible via your DfE Sign‑in) so you can review it during the session. There will be time for questions, so come ready to get stuck in.
