Previously they received one overall judgement, such as “good”, “outstanding” or “requires improvement”.
But this was scrapped after criticism following the death of headteacher Ruth Perry, who took her own life after a report downgraded her Berkshire primary school from “outstanding” to “inadequate”.
Schools in England are now being graded across a variety of areas, including attendance and behaviour, achievement and inclusion, using a colour-coded five-point scale.
These grades are “urgent improvement”, “needs attention”, “expected standard”, “strong standard” and the new highest grade of “exceptional”.
We have collated the results of Ofsted inspections carried out at Wigan borough primary and secondary schools so far this year to see how they fared.
