Sheffield schools and nurseries: All Ofsted inspections for Steel City in January with four Outstanding grades

An amazing four schools and nurseries earned an Outstanding rating this month.

An Outstanding four schools or nurseries in Sheffield earned a top-of-the-class grade from Ofsted in the past month.

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."

There is also Holmhirst Pre-School, which earned its first-ever Outstanding rating and where inspectors said children get "exciting opportunities" to learn every day.

Here are all the Ofsted ratings for Sheffield's schools and nurseries in January 2024.
