Record number of good/outstanding schools

A record number of Leicestershire schools have been judged as good or outstanding by Ofsted inspectors.

Over the last year, 71 per cent of schools inspected were in the top two categories – up from 69 per cent the year before.

Leicestershire County Council’s Cabinet member for children and young people, Ivan Ould, said: “I’d like to praise the teachers, pupils and governors of these schools and the council staff who support them, for achieving such impressive results.

“We’ve managed to sustain and improve our excellent performance, despite Ofsted pledging even more rigorous inspections this year.”

A total of 81 Leicestershire schools were inspected by Ofsted over the last 12 school year. Of these:

• 13 were outstanding

• 45 were good

• 22 were satisfactory and two were inadequate.
