A total of 15 schools in Greater Manchester have the worst possible rating from Ofsted inspections carried out over the last two years. And it is now approaching the time of year when children moving up into primary or secondary school in September will find out where they will be going.
Parents of pre-school children will hear on April 16 which primary school their kids will be attending, as local authorities notify families. For secondary schools, places are allocated in a fortnight’s time, on March 1. Ahead of the announcements the Manchester Evening News is revealing the schools which have received the lowest possible ratings from school inspectors, Ofsted.
Ofsted carries out inspections of schools around the country every week on a rolling basis. Schools in England are regularly assessed by the watchdog and receive a rating based on the findings of the inspectors.
