How this list is built

The authority is the source’s, not a boundary we drew.

Records are grouped by the local authority Ofsted records against each school. That is an education authority, so a county appears once rather than as its districts, and it will not always match the council that collects your bills. Nothing here is re-aggregated or scored.
