Eighty-six per cent of schools are currently judged to be good or outstanding according to the latest Ofsted statistics – a one per cent rise since last year.

Figures released last week show that as of March 2016, 21 per cent of schools in England are “outstanding” and 65 per cent are “good”. Meanwhile, 13 per cent are considered to be requiring improvement while one per cent are “inadequate”.

Broken down further, the figures show that 22 per cent of secondary schools are outstanding, 54 per cent are rated good, 20 per cent require improvement and four per cent are inadequate.

The statistics also break down inspection results by type of school, with 87 per cent of 16,397 local authority maintained schools being judged good or outstanding compared to 82 per cent of 4,653 academy schools.
