Of these, six were primary schools and three were preschools; no secondary schools had Ofsted reports published this month.
Between those inspected, there was one ‘outstanding’ grade, six ‘good’, one ‘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 nine schools and preschools below, including their classifications, highlights and areas that require improvement…
9. Preston Greenlands Community Primary School
Report published April 27, following an inspection on March 1. Classed as 'requires improvement'. Highlights: nurturing relationships between staff and pupils; pupils behave well; broad and balanced curriculum. Improvements needed: pupils who fall behind in their reading need effective support to catch up; in some subjects, leaders have not identified the important knowledge they want pupils to learn.

10. Little Hoole Primary School
Report published April 27, following an inspection on March 1. Classed as 'good'. Highlights: pupils achieve well; ambitious curriculum; experiences offered to nurture pupils' talents. Improvements needed: leaders are at an early stage of checking what pupils do and do not know; teachers do not ensure that the books that some pupils read match the sounds that they are learning.
