Dozens of schools in Northampton have been inspected by education watchdog, Ofsted, in 2023.
More than 40 primary and secondary education settings have been awarded the top two gradings of ‘outstanding’ or ‘good’ in the last 12 months, with six schools receiving the highest ranking and the rest being labelled as ‘good’.
During an Ofsted inspection, five categories are scrutinised. These are: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development and leadership and management.
When a school is rated ‘outstanding’ or ‘good’, they are usually re-inspected around once every four years, unless concerns are raised.
Below are all the Northampton schools that have been rated ‘outstanding’ or ‘good’ in 2023 and the date the inspection report was published on the Ofsted website.
