Seventy-two per cent of all secondary schools in England are currently either “good” or “outstanding” according to Ofsted.
At the other end of the scale for England’s 3,106 secondary schools, 24 per cent are currently judged as “requires improvement”, with five per cent judged “inadequate”.
Ofsted chief inspector, Sir Michael Wilshaw, this week hailed an “unprecedented rate of national improvement” across all types of schools.
Figures from the inspectorate show that 78 per cent of all schools, including PRUs, nurseries and special schools, are now considered either good or outstanding.
This is nine percentage point increase compared to a year ago, which represents the most rapid rate of improvement in Ofsted’s 21-year history.
