What is Educational Outcomes?

Educational Outcomes is SSAT’s unique performance analysis tool, combining official DfE and Ofsted sources into one database to show you performance and contextual data using over 40 different metrics for your own school and for every state-funded school in the country. You can also use the database to identify schools in similar circumstances to your own to help you collaborate, network and share ideas.

Educational Outcomes 2023 for KS2 and 4

In its current format, Educational Outcomes has been a valued resource for school leaders for more than a decade.

The full versions for both KS2 and 4 are available now

The full version of Educational Outcomes 2023 for KS4, based on the February 2024 DfE data release, gives you:

  • A one-page profile of your chosen school – you no longer have to use the drop-down box to select a school – double-click in the school name box, delete the current school, start typing and the box will auto-fill with your chosen school. Check your Excel security settings to make sure that macros are enabled if this doesn’t work for you.
  • Three scatter charts showing how your school compares with all schools nationally – choose from ‘prior attainment and attainment 8’, ‘prior attainment and progress 8’ and, as an indicator of overall achievement, ‘attainment 8 compared with progress 8’
  • A searchable database of all schools showing school context and characteristics followed by 37 performance indicators that include breakdowns by gender and disadvantage
  • Direct links to each school’s latest Ofsted report and grades (as at 31 December 2023)

Educational Outcomes is revised during the spring and summer terms to include the latest Ofsted information and any updates we make. You can check the version number to ensure that you are using the most up-to-date version.


The full version of Educational Outcomes for KS2 based on the DfE data published in December 2023 provides:

  • A one-page profile of your chosen school showing its context, KS2 progress and attainment data, attendance and Ofsted inspection information.
  • Six scatter charts showing how your school compares with all schools nationally – choose from ‘prior attainment at KS1 compared with reading scaled score’, ‘prior attainment at KS1 compared with maths scaled score’, ‘prior attainment and expected standard in reading, writing and maths’, ‘prior attainment and higher standard in reading, writing and maths’ and, as indicators of overall achievement, ‘scaled score for reading compared with progress in reading’ and ‘scaled score for maths compared with progress in maths’.
