School is far from the minds of many families enjoying the summer break. But in a matter of weeks a new term will begin, and thousands of children across Manchester will be starting at new primary and secondary schools.
With that in mind, the Manchester Evening News looked at schools that have been inspected by education watchdog Ofsted, and what they found when they visited.
There are 212 schools and colleges on Ofsted's list in Manchester , with Ofsted scores ranging between 'Outstanding', for those who most impressed inspectors, and 'Inadequate', for those who gave them the most concern. Almost 20 percent of Manchester's schools are ranked 'Outstanding', with a further 57 percent as 'Good'.
