School league tables

• To find out a school’s position in the league tables, we like the BBC's website. Click here for primary schools. Or click here for secondary schools.

• To see how a school has performed, year on year, visit the Department for Education’s website. You can also input your postcode and view summary statistics for your area.

Ofsted reports

• When you use SchoolGuru's Admission Calculator, the results you get will include a link to the latest Ofsted report. Alternatively, visit Ofsted's website. Ofsted has complied a list of outstanding schools in Hertfordshire. You can also find out about schools that are causing concern.
