We do not have enough comparable Ofsted inspection evidence to rate schools in this area.
How we group inspection findings
These are GetAgent ratings, based off official Ofsted grades. Ofsted introduced an updated inspection framework in November 2025, with report cards that grade individual areas on a new scale without giving an overall grade. Older reports use different grades, so schools inspected under different frameworks are harder to compare. We created our own summary measure to help parents make sense of these different results, using the criteria below. It should be read alongside the full inspection report.
Super School requires every applicable published judgement to be Good or Outstanding, with a majority Outstanding, under an older framework; or Strong standard or Exceptional, with a majority Exceptional, under the renewed framework.
Good School requires every applicable published judgement to be Good or Outstanding under an older framework, or Expected standard, Strong standard or Exceptional under the renewed framework. Super Schools are counted in their own group. These frameworks are not directly equivalent.
The remaining rated schools are GetAgent Needs Improvement Schools: a lower judgement, safeguarding failure or a newer inspection flagging concerns takes precedence. A newer inspection confirming maintained standards can retain the earlier detailed findings.
Positive ratings require complete core judgements and confirmed safeguarding. Schools without enough comparable information, including predecessor-school evidence and other inspectorates, are unrated and excluded from percentages. Missing information is not a negative judgement. Read each school's dated report before deciding.
