Attendance and behaviour is graded on a 5-point scale
Inspectors will evaluate attendance and behaviour based on your school’s environment, and the attendance, behaviour and attitudes of your pupils.
Attendance and behaviour is 1 of the evaluation areas that will appear on your school’s inspection report card. Each area will be graded using Ofsted’s new 5-point grading system, with Ofsted expecting most schools to attain at least an ‘expected standard’ in each area. The exception is safeguarding, which is either 'met' or 'not met'.
