Freedom of Information

Enquiry Number – 1-728264115

Request and Response:

A request for information on the monitoring of schools’ performance and progress.

Q: Please provide:

 a copy of any documentation used in monitoring individual primary and secondary schools' performance in your local authority;  a copy of your local authority's risk register for individual primary and secondary schools; and  the criteria, metrics and escalation process used in the monitoring of schools under your jurisdiction.

A: Local authorities (LAs) have a statutory responsibility to monitor the standard of education being provided in the local area and ensuring all learners get a good (or better) education.

Collecting and analysing a wide range of progress measures, using both hard and soft intelligence, assists LAs in the early identification of concerns and enables school improvement staff to challenge school leaders, or offer additional help and support, before issues have the opportunity to escalate and the outcomes of learners are affected.

In Sandwell we use the school’s most recent Ofsted grades to indicate a RAG rating for each school. Schools which were judged as good or better at their last inspection are rated as green, schools that were judged as requiring improvement are rated as amber and schools judged as inadequate are rated as red.

The latest information on our school ratings are in the public domain and can be found on the Ofsted website. However, for ease of information we have included them in the response.
