Is your secondary school on Ofsted’s worst-performing list?
Government education watchdog Ofsted have said in a report this week that schools are facing challenges in their ‘educational recovery’ since the Covid pandemic hit.
Some schools had poor inspection results before the lockdowns hit Britain, and have only found it more and more difficult to climb themselves back up the rankings.
Schools are graded under four categories, outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate.
As of May 3, there were 63 secondary schools in England which were rated as inadequate – the lowest score from the education watchdog.
When schools are given the inadequate grading, they can fall into two categories; special measures or serious weaknesses.

Secretary of State for Education, Nadhim Zahawi, issues an academy order to a school which is deemed inadequate, making the school a sponsored academy.
This means that the school will be sponsored by an academy chain which has experience of running similar schools.
Ratings of the schools on the list may have changed in the meantime since the report was written, and may also be waiting on updated reports, says the Mirror.
This comes after it was announced that Ofsted is to be given powers that will allow inspectors to enter and close illegal schools after it warned that children are being educated in garages and being exposed to extremist materials.
It is believed the notable rise in children being home schooled since the start of the pandemic will mean many have ended up being taught in unlawful operations.
Nadhim Zahawi, the education secretary, will introduce laws to allow Ofsted to turn up without any notice at what they believe are unregistered schools.
In order to help build stronger legal cases against illegal schools, inspectors will also be allowed to seize evidence and material.

Ofsted wants the government to lifetime bans to be given to people running illegal schools to prevent them from setting up similar centres.
Amanda Spielman, Ofsted’s chief inspector, said unregistered schools have failed to equip children with British values, basic numeracy and literacy skills.
Spielman said a ‘small proportion’ of cases have been linked to ‘genuine extremism’, but the wider concern is that there is a large proportion of children who are effectively ‘very segregated from mainstream society’ and do not know the basics that ‘we expect of all children who are born as British citizens’.
She said, many of the people educating the children were ‘unfit’ to work with them, she said: ‘We see lots of staff without experience or qualifications, people with criminal records.’
