How Ofsted ratings work
Ofsted inspects schools in England and publishes a judgement for each one. Mindful Eye shows the most recent rating alongside the full inspection history, so you can see whether a school is improving or slipping.
Outstanding
Exceptional practice across the board.
Good
A sound standard of education and care.
Requires improvement
Not yet good; specific areas fall short.
Inadequate
Serious weaknesses, often with follow-up monitoring.
Ofsted began replacing single-word judgements with a report card of graded areas in 2025. Profiles show whichever framework a school was last inspected under, and label it. Read the official reports at Ofsted.
