Attendance and inclusion form part of 'behaviour and attitudes'

Ofsted doesn't grade attendance or inclusion individually. They form part of Ofsted's 'behaviour and attitudes' judgement, which considers how leaders and other staff create a safe, calm, orderly and positive environment in the school and the impact this has on pupils' behaviour and attitudes.

Be clear on how Ofsted inspects 'behaviour and attitudes'.

What does Ofsted mean by inclusion?

Where Ofsted refers to 'inclusion', it's in relation to how your school creates a culture that supports all pupils, particularly those who may be disadvantaged or have additional needs or barriers to learning.

As part of this, Ofsted will also check that your school isn't 'off-rolling' pupils.

This is covered in paragraphs 424 to 432 of the School Inspection Handbook.
