Many schools across Merseyside are rated as ‘good’, however, fewer have been awarded the top 'outstanding' mark.

Ofsted is the regulatory body which provides schools across the country with rankings, ranging from ‘inadequate’ to ‘outstanding’.

While concerns have been shared regarding Ofsted's single-word judgements, alongside calls for reform, they are currently one way by which parents decide which schools to send their children to.
