SIGNING UP TO OUR NEWSLETTER Schools are no longer given one-word overall ratings by the education watchdog under a revamped system. Article continues below Ofsted now grades schools across

four areas (as well as early years provision for primaries). The aim is to provide parents with more context about what is actually happening at schools and not leave schools lumbered with a

rating headteachers may feel is unjustified, potentially for years. We have listed schools recently inspected below, following analysis of Ofsted reports. E-ACT Heartlands Acadamy, Nishkam

High School and Nishkam Primary School all achieved a perfect score - outstanding in all areas. It wasn't such good news for Shire Oak Academy in Walsall Wood, which was told it was
