Pre-release access list: State-funded schools inspections and outcomes

The phrase ‘pre-release access’ refers to the practice whereby official statistics in their final form, and any accompanying written commentary, are made available to an eligible person before publication. The rules and principles that govern pre-release access are set out in the Pre-release Access to Official Statistics Order 2008.

Ofsted has used the data in the statistical release for operational reasons, meaning a number of Ofsted employees have had access to this data in order to meet business needs and carry out their duties.

Access to this statistical release has not been given to the Ofsted employees referred to in the previous paragraph. With the exception of the analysts who produce the output and other employees involved in the production process, only individuals included in the list below have been given 24-hour pre-release access.
