What do Ofsted grades mean?
  • Outstanding (1) – Highest judgement.
  • Good (2) – Strong overall effectiveness.
  • Requires improvement (3) – Not yet good.
  • Inadequate (4) – Significant weaknesses.
Ungraded visits (Section 8) check whether the previous grade still stands (e.g. “School remains Good”) but don’t replace the last graded judgement.
