Ofsted: 71 per cent of secondary schools are ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’

Inspection advice/guidance
More than one in five secondary schools are rated as “outstanding” and almost half are considered to be “good”, according to Ofsted’s latest figures.

Based on the latest inspection outcomes for all secondary schools, the statistics show that:

22 per cent are judged outstanding.

49 per cent are judged good.

23 per cent are judged “requires improvement”

Six per cent are judged “inadequate”.

The figures have been updated to include the outcomes from the most recent inspection period  – April to June 2014. During these three months, Ofsted carried out 214 inspections of secondary schools, with the results showing:

12 per cent were judged outstanding.

42 per cent were judged good.

38 per cent were judged requires improvement.

Eight per cent were judged inadequate.

The marked difference between the overall figures and those for the period is explained because Section 5 inspections are generally focused on poorer performing schools.
