All parents only want the best for their children, and that means checking the Ofsted ratings for the schools in their area.

To help out, The Star has listed all schools and nurseries visited by the education watchdog in the Steel City so far in 2023.

Among them are examples like St Catherine’s Catholic School, which in a rare achievement maintained its Outstanding rating, but also King Edward VII School, which in a shock result was rated Inadequate in an unclear dispute with the school’s leadership.

View our gallery below for all the Ofsted inspections for Sheffield so far in 2023.

Here are all the Ofsted ratings for Sheffield's schools and nurseries so far in 2023.
