13 primary and secondary schools across Liverpool and Merseyside have been handed new Ofsted reports and ratings this June and July (2025).
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 Merseyside to receive new Ofsted reports in May and June, and how they fared. How did your child’s school do? Reports were accessed on July 10, 2025.
