But the figures reveal that some schools have not been visited by Ofsted in almost 10 years.

Coun Jackie Drayton, cabinet member for children, young people and families, said: “It is heartening that the proportion of good and outstanding schools in Sheffield has continued to increase and is at its highest level, with the vast majority of Sheffield schools delivering a good or outstanding education.

“Pupil achievement and progress across the city has also continued to rise over the last five years.

“Many of the improvements have been greatest where the local authority, working with school partners, has targeted its work and where some of the city’s good schools have supported those facing significant challenges.

“However, we are not, and never have been, complacent. We have high expectations that every child in Sheffield should go to a great school and achieve their full potential.

“That’s why we set up Learn Sheffield in July which follows on from the successful City Wide Learning body. This new school company will enable an acceleration of school-to-school improvement across the city as the evidence shows that is the most effective way to drive up educational standards.”
