Following the introduction of a more detailed assessment system, Ofsted now evaluates schools across multiple key areas rather than issuing a single overall grade. Schools receive ratings ranging from ‘exceptional’ to ‘urgent improvement’ in categories including achievement; attendance and behaviour; curriculum and teaching; inclusion; leadership and governance; personal development and wellbeing; and post-16 provision or early years education.
