Ratings from the education watchdog were paused for much of January while inspectors undertook sensitivity training for teachers' mental health following a report by a parliamentary enquiry.
But all of the inspection reports below were from visits before the pause and while the enquiry was underway.
Now, eight nurseries and schools have had a new rating in the past month - including four that earned a top-shelf rating of 'Outstanding'.
They include Stannington Infant School, which waited 15 years for a new report after its last visit in 2009, but has been reaffirmed as a place where little ones are "happy" and enjoy "an exceptional education."
Here are all the Ofsted ratings for Sheffield's schools and nurseries in January 2024.
1. Holmhirst Pre-school - Good to Outstanding
Holmhirst Pre-School, in Holmhirst Road, Sheffield, was rated 'Outstanding' for the first time ever in a glowing report on January 5.
