16 primary and secondary schools across Liverpool have been handed new Ofsted reports and ratings in recent months.
Some schools were visited by Ofsted 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. 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 to receive new Ofsted reports in April and May 2025, and how they fared. How did your child’s school do?
1. Assess Education, Picton Road, Liverpool
Published on May 23, the Ofsted report for Assess Education states: "Although pupils are mostly happy when they are in school, many pupils do not attend school often enough or they arrive late. The school has not done enough to tackle absenteeism and poor punctuality. The school does not carry out sufficient checks to assure itself that pupils are safe when they are absent from school. This places pupils at potential risk of harm." It has an overall rating of 'inadequate'. | Google

Published on May 19, the Ofsted report for Prudentia Education states: "The school is likely to meet the relevant independent school standards if the material change relating to the school provision is implemented." It retained its overall 'good' rating. | STOCK IMAGE/ADOBE
