Of these, twelve were primary schools and one was a special school: no secondary schools had Ofsted reports published this month.
Between those inspected, there were ten ‘good’ schools, two ‘requires improvement’ and one ‘inadequate’.
If a school requires improvement, it is put under special measures, whilst good schools are checked less frequently.
Take a look at the thirteen schools below, including their classifications, highlights and areas that require improvement…
