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.
