Ofsted inspectors visit schools across England to ensure that the educational institutions are performing well and preparing pupils for further education and life in a community.
Inspectors, they are required to report on aspects including the achievement of pupils at the school, the quality of teaching in the school, and the quality of leadership.
Each school is given a rating – outstanding, good, requires improvement, or inadequate.
Below is a list of those which are relevant to Derbyshire Times’ readers, including the date the visit took place and their most recent rating.
