Where does the data for Worcestershire schools come from?
School names, addresses, and governance come from the government school register. Ofsted publishes inspection outcomes. The Department for Education publishes attendance, attainment, pupil characteristics, and SEN figures. Local context rows (crime, census, house prices) are labelled by geography on each district page. See our methodology page for more detail and how to report a likely error with a school URN.
