School Profile (formerly Annual Reports to
Parents)
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 The report has been replaced by the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.
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 in
the first year. 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?
