IDSR release: 10 January 2023
We have updated the IDSR for schools with key stage 4. The update is a correction to the EBacc science, languages and humanities attainment sentences within the key stage 4 subjects section of the areas of interest. This was due to a methodology issue with the calculation of the highest and lowest 20%. This has not impacted all of these schools.
The correction may result in the EBacc attainment sentences changing. For example, the sentence for the school may now be shown in grey when previously it was highlighted as in the highest or lowest 20%. Quality checks have been conducted to ensure this does not affect other sentences.

Pupil movement section
The text relating to pupils for whom we do not have information about in the later census has been improved. This change was made based on feedback we received. Our guidance has additional text to convey that the school may well have information about these pupil who may, for example, have moved overseas. Examples of the existing and new sentences are below.
Older sentence
There is no available information about the destinations of 50 of these 75 pupil(s), 11 of whom left between Years 10 and 11.
New sentence
There is no recorded information in the January 2021 census for 50 of these 75 pupil(s), 11 of whom left between Years 10 and 11.
Trust/LA level information section
The heading for this section dynamic so that if will display as either Trust information or LA information dependent on school type.
For multi-academy trusts only, overall effectiveness grades based on the latest URN will appear in this section. This will mean that grades associated with a school prior to joining the MAT will now not appear in the grade profile, instead they will appear in the not yet inspected section.
