It was a good month for Sheffield’s schools and nurseries which almost all came up positive in their latest Ofsted reports.
The education watchdog published 11 new reports into the city’s academies and preschools between September 26 and October 27, many of them based on visits in July and August.
In a set of great results, eight schools were rated or re-rated as ‘Good’ in all areas. However, two more were rated ‘Inadequate’, and two more that received short inspections were noted to potentially now be less effective, and will now be subject to a full inspection next time.
Here are all the Ofsted reports published in the past month between September 26 and October 27.
Correction: A previously version of this story erroneously said that inspectors noted Mosborough Primary School “might not be graded so highly in a full inspection”. This was true of one of the schools listed below, but not Mosborough Primary, which in fact inspectors believe will be upgraded to ‘Outstanding’ at its next inspection. The story has been corrected to reflect this and The Star apologises for this mistake.
Here are all the Ofsted reports published in the past month between September 26 and October 27.
