Ofsted Report Scraper – Extract UK Education Reports Efficiently

Overview

This scraper automates data extraction from the Ofsted Reports website.
It collects structured and up-to-date information on educational institutions in the UK — directly from the official Ofsted reports database.

You can use it to:

  • 📊 Track latest inspection reports across institutions
  • 🏫 Analyze performance trends by region, type, or time range
  • 🧠 Integrate Ofsted data into analytics dashboards or data pipelines

The scraper is no-login required, fast, and production-ready, ideal for research, reporting, or data-driven applications.
