Background
Following the passage of the Education Act 2005, governing bodies are no longer required to hold an annual meeting for parents or produce a governors' annual report to parents. The report has been replaced by the school profile, which is designed for schools to communicate with parents about the school's progress, priorities and performance. Profiles are completed and published online.
Which schools need to complete a school profile?
All maintained schools except nurseries need to publish a school profile. Maintained nursery schools continue to produce a governors' annual report. City technology colleges (except those due to become academies in current academic year) are required to complete a school profile. Non-maintained schools, independent schools and academies are not required to complete a school profile, and will not be able to log on to the secure school profile website.
School profile content
The profile was designed after extensive consultation with schools, local authorities, governors, parents and pupils, and has recently been improved in line with feedback received from those completing it. The profile contains, where relevant:
-
data provided and updated by the DCSF on an annual basis
-
a summary of the latest Ofsted report provided by the DCSF and updated at least every three years
-
narrative sections written by the school, updated at least once every academic year.
The narrative sections include the following headings:
-
What have been our successes this year?
-
What are we trying to improve?
-
How have our results changed over time?
-
How are we making sure that every child receives teaching to meet their individual needs?
-
How do we make sure our pupils are healthy, safe and well-supported?
-
What have we done in response to our Ofsted report?
-
How are we working with parents and the community?
Schools with sixth forms and those commissioning alternative provision for their pupils complete a further series of questions in addition to these. More details can be found in the frequently asked questions (FAQs).
