Resource details
The IDSR Pack helps you understand your Inspection Data Summary Report, turn it into a clear narrative, and explain it calmly to staff and governors. Built by practising school leaders in the HeadteacherChat community.
Updated for the autumn 2026 IDSR release and Ofsted's renewed inspection framework — including the new split of school performance data by inspection cohort (schools inspected under the renewed framework from November 2025, schools inspected in 2024/25, schools last inspected before September 2024, and uninspected schools) and contextual measures aligned to the framework's evaluation areas.
