Why would a school not have a report?

There may not be a report because:

• a newly registered school hasn’t been inspected yet
• an inspection has taken place recently, but the report hasn’t been published yet
• a school that has recently become an academy may not have been inspected yet
• an ‘outstanding’ school that has become an academy may be exempt from routine inspection.
