Until last month, the education watchdog inspected schools regularly and assigned them one of four different ratings: ‘Outstanding’ is the top rating, followed by ‘Good’, ‘Requires Improvement’ and ‘Inadequate.’
The classification is based on five key categories: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and either early years or sixth form provisions (depending on whether the school is primary or secondary).
These were the last 25 schools that received an Ofsted rating in 2024 before the system was scrapped.
The majority received a ‘Good’ rating and five ‘Required Improvement’.

25. Brunel Field Primary School, College Road, Bristol, BS7 9JT
School type: Primary. Rating: Good. Published on January 16, the Ofsted report for Brunel Field Primary School reads: "The school is ambitious for all pupils. It has designed a curriculum that gives pupils the knowledge they need to succeed. Reading is at the centre of it. Carefully selected stories are interwoven throughout the curriculum which helps pupils to understand diversity and cultures. The school ensures that pupils read books and listen to stories from a broad range of diverse authors. In some areas of the curriculum, the school has clearly set out what they want pupils to learn. The small steps of knowledge that have been identified help pupils to build on what they already know and deepen their understanding. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported effectively by adults to access the same learning as their peers. This means they progress well through the intended curriculum. However, the key knowledge that the school wants pupils to know and remember in some subjects is not precise enough. In these subjects, pupils struggle to remember their learning and have gaps in what they know. The school promotes pupils’ personal development well. Pupils learn about different faiths and cultures through the curriculum, as well as from each other. Pupils celebrate difference and see themselves as part of the school community." | Google Maps
