When looking for whether a school is the right one for your children, one of the first ports of call is its Ofsted rating.
Ofsted is an independent and impartial office for standards in education to better inform parents of the quality of the schools, encourage improvement and hold schools to account.
Each week Ofsted inspectors carry out hundreds of inspections and visits throughout England and publish the results online.
Inspectors look at: achievements and standards; pupils' development and wellbeing; the quality of teaching and learning; how the curriculum is taught; the care, guidance and support the school provides; how well the school is led and managed.
Judgements are scored on a four-point scale: outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate
