Data Coverage
Sources: DfE GIAS public downloads and Ofsted monthly management information.
Coverage: England's full establishment register refreshed daily, with predecessor/successor links; Ofsted latest inspections remain a separate monthly tool.
Licence: Open Government Licence v3.0.
MCP surface: lookup_schools is a tool, not a prompt or resource, because records require dynamic filters.
