Ofsted latest inspections (as at 2026-09-30)

  • 70 state schools
  • 10 with a report card (from Nov 2025)
  • Single-word overall grade (inspections up to July 2024): Outstanding 7 · Good 22 · Requires improvement 1 · Inadequate 3
  • 7 inspected without an overall grade (from Sept 2024)

Ofsted data as published (as at 2026-09-30). Single-word overall grades (Outstanding, Good …) exist only for inspections up to July 2024; from September 2024 inspections gave no overall grade, and from November 2025 they produce area-by-area report cards. So no stars for England.
