Across every school in Leeds, Ofsted inspectors make the rounds to see just how well they are performing. Following an in-depth inspection process, schools are then graded as either outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate.
Those that require improvement or are inadequate have been found to be lacking in certain areas by inspectors. This can often be the quality of teaching and assessment, how well pupils are progressing and the teacher's knowledge of curriculum subjects.
Schools can change quite wildly between inspections, with some plummeting from outstanding to requiring improvement within the space of one Ofsted visit.
