Educational Outcomes Database

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.
