14 primary and secondary schools across Liverpool have received new Ofsted reports and ratings in 2025.
Some were visited by inspectors for non-graded monitoring visits, while others were given new ratings after full inspections.
State-funded schools in England no longer receive Ofsted’s single headline grades, also known as single word judgements, after the measure was scrapped in September. But, they are still given ratings for five key categories, which are as follows: The quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management and early years provision.
Below are all of the primary and secondary schools in Liverpool, who have received new Ofsted reports in 2025 so far, and how they fared. How did your child’s school do?
