The educational watchdog Ofsted visited 43 mainstream secondary schools in Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle, Rossendale and Blackburn with Darwen between January 1 2023 and December 31 2024.
Educational establishments can be rated one of four grades - outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate - with a mix of ratings being given out throughout the year.
As of September however, Ofsted also changed the way it inspects school so that in the more recent reprots, no overall effectiveness rating is given instead just individual ratings across categories.
Take a look at all the schools with new Ofsted this year below, including their classifications, highlights and areas that require improvement…
