About the ratings
Ofsted changed how it reports on schools. Since September 2024 it no longer gives state schools a single overall grade, and from November 2025 new inspections produce a report card that grades each area separately. Schools inspected before then keep their older grades until their next inspection, so the schools here aren't graded on the same scale.
Results are read from Ofsted's website once a month. Exam and test results are on the Department for Education's compare school performance service. Independent schools are inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, which doesn't give grades.
