Sheffield schools: Here are all the latest Ofsted ratings for city school and nurseries in past month
The education watchdog has published eight new reports into the city’s academies and preschools over the past month, many of them based on visits in March and April.
However, more than half the sites have seen their ratings deteriorate, including three former ‘Outstanding’ schools that have lost their top grade.
It comes after the government promised last year to ‘accelerate’ the rate of inspections after it emerged hundreds of ‘Outstanding’ schools had not been inspected in upwards of five years.
Here are all the Ofsted reports published in the past month between June 24 to May 20.

Walkley Primary School received an interim visit on April 20. This means the report does not affect the school’s overall rating as ‘Good’ – however, inspectors have booked it for a formal visit as “evidence gathered suggests that the inspection grade might not be as high if a full inspection were carried out now. “
