For most Northern Ireland schools this profile is built from the Department of Education school census reference data on Open Data NI (name, sector, council, address/postcode), not from the England/Wales GIAS bulk feed. Post-primary exam statistics come from the same department’s SAER open-data release where we match the school reference—not every phase has a SAER row. Ofsted, DfE GCSE/KS2 tables, and Parent View do not cover NI; inspection grades are published by the Education and Training Inspectorate (ETI).

Northern Ireland: official sources

Open Data NI does publish education data (school census, reference lists, post-primary exam SAER, and more), but it is not the same schema as England’s GIAS + Ofsted + DfE performance feeds—so most blocks on this page stay empty on purpose. Post-primary schools may show a SAER table below when our Department of Education crawler has matched the school reference; primary and nursery schools normally will not, because SAER is a post-primary bulletin. For inspection outcomes use ETI; for other datasets browse the Department of Education organisation on Open Data NI via the links below.
