Keep up to date with the standard of education in your area.

Ofsted, the Office for Standards in education, has launched a weekly email alert service for parents, informing them of school performance in up to three local education areas.

Parents can choose to receive the email with reports on primary, secondary and special schools, and sixth form and further education colleges.

Her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Schools, David Bell, said: 'Our redesigned web site has proved very popular with parents and has seen a thirty per cent rise in traffic since November 2002. This new
email alerts service together with our post code search empowers parents to make informed choices about local schools.'

To sign up to the service, point your browser at the Ofsted Web site.
