Many have had monitoring visits by the education watchdog since then to say they are on the road back to a ‘good’ grade, while others are waiting for a full inspection to prove their stuff.
1. Al-Mahad Al-Islami, Darnall Road
Al-Mahad Al-Islami, in Darnall Road, is a Islamic faith school and received an inspection on June 14. It was able to shake off its Inadequate rating from 2019 and is now rated 'Requires Improvement'. In fact, the report was highly complimentary, but scored them down due to 'leadership of some subjects'. - https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50193303 Photo: Alastair Ulke
2. Beighton nursery infant school
Beighton nursery infant school was rated outstanding by Ofsted at its inspection in March 2007, but was rated Requires Improvement in a visit on March 2022 - a gap of 14 years. Inspectors felt the school's curriculum needed "refining". - https://files.ofsted.gov.uk/v1/file/50185720 Photo: Google
