With the 2022/2023 academic year drawing to a close next month, The Chronicle & Echo have rounded up all the Northampton primary and secondary schools that have been graded ‘inadequate’ and ‘requires improvement’ by Ofsted after their latest inspections.
Following a full inspection of a school, the education watchdog grades the setting as either ‘inadequate’, ‘requires improvement’, ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’.
They come to the final decision by looking at the quality of education, leadership and management, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, early years provision and sixth form provision.
‘Inadequate’ is the lowest possible grade that can be given by Ofsted.
Here are 10 schools that are currently graded as ‘inadequate’ or ‘requires improvement’ by Ofsted:
