It’s been a good month for Sheffield’s schools as the latest round of Ofsted reports routinely came up positive.
The education watchdog has published 11 new reports into the city’s academies and preschools over the past month, many of them based on visits in June, July and August.
All but one of the sites saw their rating improve from a worse off score or maintain their ‘Good’ rating.
Crescent Corner Day Nursery on Halifax was suspended for six weeks following an inspection by Ofsted on January 12. In a revisit on June 22, the nursery failed to shake off its 'Inadequate' rating, but inspectors noted it had addressed its safety concerns. - https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50191503 Photo: Google
