Ofsted Parent View: management information

Management information published 3 times a year in the interests of transparency.

Overview

Ofsted publishes this data to provide a more up-to-date picture of the results within Parent View. This management information covers submissions received in the previous 365 days for independent schools inspected by Ofsted and maintained schools and academies in England.

Within these releases, you can find:

• an overall question-by-question breakdown of the results for both school types
• a further breakdown of these results by phase and region for maintained schools and academies
• data on the number of submissions received and the response rates for the above categories
• for publications from 2018 onwards, individual school-level data for schools with 10 or more submissions

Publications from March 2026

The questions used in the Parent View survey changed in November 2025. Due to this change, the releases only contain submissions from November 2025. Please bear this in mind when comparing to previous releases.

Publications from September 2021 to October 2025

Due to COVID-19, routine inspections were paused from April 2020 until September 2021. While Parent View is open for submissions all year round, parents are encouraged to fill out the Parent View survey during inspections. Please bear this in mind when interpreting releases where data was collected during this period, as there were fewer submissions received.

Publications from 2020 onwards

The questions used in the Parent View survey changed in September 2019. Due to this change, the releases in the following academic year only contain submissions from the first academic term (January 2020 release), then the first and second academic terms (April 2020 release). Please bear this in mind when comparing to previous releases. Future releases will contain a full rolling 365-day period of the new question data.

Publications from 2017 onwards

These releases now only include submissions for schools that were open and eligible for inspection by Ofsted at the point the management information was produced. Because of this change, the data from these new releases is not completely comparable with the data found within the 2014 to 2015 and 2015 to 2016 releases.

Publications from 2014 to 2015 and 2015 to 2016

This management information covers submissions received to Parent View, in each academic year since 2014 to 2015, for independent schools and maintained schools and academies in England.

These releases only include submissions for schools that were open and eligible for inspection by Ofsted throughout each academic year.
