Local Ed 2025: Report Cards

Learn Sheffield is taking part in the ‘Educating for the Future: Developing New Locality Models for English Schools’ pilot, which is being sponsored by AEC and BELMAS. You can find out more about the pilot in this article (Learn Sheffield Joins Educating for the Future Pilot) on our website or from visiting the project website.

Following the announcement from the new government that they intend to introduce a national report card, the working group have decided to pause the development of a local model and concentrate on sharing our learning from the project.

Sharing Our Learning

Developing a Sheffield Report CardWe published Developing a Sheffield Report Card in January 2025 to share what we have learned that could be useful when considering a national report card approach.

The project working group discussed the announcements from the DfE and Ofsted in the summer and autumn of 2025 about the implementation of report cards. We decided to pause the further development of a Sheffield report card and turn our attention instead to the national developments.

As we are one of the only groups nationally to have spent significant time thinking about the challenges and opportunities of report cards, we felt that it was helpful to share our learning to contribute to the national debate.
