DfE URN (P2253) (see uses)
This template creates a link to the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills (Ofsted) education inspection reports page for a school in England, United Kingdom. Ofsted also produces inspection reports regarding boarding provision and child care, but this template does not cover those.
Usage
The template takes one or two positional parameters:
{{ofsted|number}}
{{ofsted|number|anchor text}}
The first argument is the 6-digit Unique Reference Number (URN) assigned to the school by the Department for Education. This number may be found:
- at the top of each inspection report for the school,
- at the top of the Ofsted page for the school,[1]
- on the school's Government record.[2]
If the number is not included, the template will look for it on Wikidata.
Note that most independent schools do not have their education inspected by Ofsted, even though they have been assigned URNs. Also, a new school will be assigned a URN but will not have an Ofsted page before their first inspection.
The second argument is the anchor text of the link. If it is omitted, the default anchor text is "Ofsted details for unique reference number N".
