Use of Ofsted reports has become increasingly controversial in recent years, but the reports still form a valuable way to assess how different schools are performing in an area.
Every year thousands of schools up and down the country get a visit from an Ofsted inspector. For the purposes of this article we have filtered Ofsted reports by the highest ratings given out to schools in Aylesbury Vale and how recently the reports were published on the Ofsted website here.
Ofsted assesses schools on a number of different criteria including: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, development and leadership. If the public body awards the lowest marks to schools of ‘requires improvement’ or ‘inadequate’ those institutions are carefully monitored and put on special programmes.
