Ofsted is to use parents' and pupils' views on issues such as how a school discourages drug and alcohol use and offers relationship guidance.
Contrary to early reports, teenage pregnancy, obesity and drug use rates will not be used to judge schools.
One teaching union said there were grave dangers in using opinion surveys, another said the plans were absurd.
Under the proposals, which are out to consultation, schools will have to provide figures on their attendance rates, on persistent absenteeism and exclusion, as well as academic attainment.
Figures on the take-up of school lunches and the percentage of pupils doing at least two hours of sport a week will also be recorded and provided to Ofsted.
But perhaps more controversially schools will also have to provide information on how well they promote healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle, how well they give good guidance on sex and relationships and discourage smoking, alcohol consumption and drug use, among other things.
This will be garnered in the form of surveys of parent and pupil opinion, however, which are already commissioned by many schools.
Instead of Ofsted doing its own survey, information from schools' own surveys will be used with head teachers being encouraged to use "accredited providers".
