  Search by schools help

  You can use this search to find a particular school by:

  • Unique Reference Number (URN)

  If you know your school’s URN then this is the quickest way to get a direct match. The URN is a six-figure number; for example, 110155. Every school has one. It is not the same as a school’s Department for Education number.

  • Name or address

  You can search for a school by its name and/or all or part of its address. The official name may not be exactly the same as the name the school is known by locally, so if the search results do not appear to have the school that you want retry using part of the name and address; for example, ‘Boniface Plymouth’ finds St Boniface College, Plymouth.

  • Provider type

  You may want to filter your search by the type of school that you are interested in; the provider type drop-down lists the different kinds. You may not be familiar with some of the types – for example, sixth form schools. For a definition of each type, on closing this help window go to the Types of school Ofsted inspects page on the left.

  
  Can't find a school?

  If you can't find a report for a school, it may be because:

  • the school is newly registered and has not had its first inspection
  • it is a boarding school that may have only had a welfare of boarders inspection, so go to Find a children and families services inspection report'
  • the school could be closed – further information about closed providers is below
  • the school has converted to become an academy – further information about academy converters is below.

  Closed providers

  When you search for a provider the results returned automatically will only display operating providers. There may have been previous providers operating under this name or at this address. If a provider with this name or at this address closed after 16 December 2010 you may click on the ‘All providers’ option above the results to show both open and closed providers.

  Academy converters

  For schools that have converted to become an academy under the Academies Act 2010 go to our academy converters site for more information. Here you can view reports for the pre-conversion school and reports for the new academy in instances where this has been inspected or has had an interim assessment since the conversion. Upon conversion to academy status the predecessor school closes and a new academy replaces it.

  Can't find an inspection report?

  If you can find the school but it does not have the report that you are interested in, it may be because the inspection may have taken place recently and the report is still being processed.
