Is Ofsted Insights an official Ofsted tool?

No. Ofsted Insights is an independent tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by Ofsted, His Majesty's Chief Inspector, or the Office for Standards in Education. All inspection data is sourced from publicly available Ofsted reports. The AI analysis and grade benchmarking are produced by Ofsted Insights, not by Ofsted itself.
