25 of the 58 schools in Ofsted's file have an overall grade from a graded inspection between December 2019 and June 2024.
9 schools have a report card from the renewed framework (from November 2025), which gives no overall grade.
7 schools had a graded inspection from September 2024, when Ofsted stopped giving an overall grade.
Ofsted says grades from different frameworks can't be compared, and an old grade may not describe a school today. Latest inspections as at 30 September 2026.
