13 of the 40 schools in Ofsted's file have an overall grade from a graded inspection between January 2020 and April 2024.
4 schools have a report card from the renewed framework (from November 2025), which gives no overall grade.
9 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.
