How many schools OfferDay covers
OfferDay lists 29,114 open schools across England, Wales and Scotland. These figures show how much information we hold for each nation. They describe how complete our data is, not how the nations compare: inspection frameworks and results are never set against each other across borders.

Coverage by nation
Each nation has its own register and its own inspectorate, so the figures below are reported separately and never rolled into a single table. The inspection share counts schools with a report on file from that nation's inspectorate, which is Ofsted in England, Estyn in Wales and Education Scotland in Scotland.

Why some figures differ
A location lets us show a school on a map and power the nearby-schools pages, so we geocode from an open postcode product wherever a school has a usable postcode; the small remainder are schools whose address cannot be placed. The inspection share differs by nation because each inspectorate runs to its own timetable, and because we only record a report where we can match it to the right school with confidence.
Only England publishes school-level attainment under an open licence, which is why the results figure is shown for England alone. For Wales and Scotland we present the school characteristics their governments do publish, such as free school meal eligibility, pupil roll and deprivation, rather than attainment tables. Our data and methodology guide lists every source, and you can browse every town and authority we cover.
Compiled by OfferDay from each nation's own register and inspectorate: the Get Information About Schools register, Ofsted, Estyn, the Scottish Government school contact list and Education Scotland. School data is published under the Open Government Licence; Estyn material is only linked to, under its own terms.
