A major change to how Ofsted grades schools across the country was implemented at the start of the month, which also gave way to the beginning of the 2024-2025 academic year. 

The Department for Education (DfE) revealed on September 2 that the single word judgements previously used by Ofsted to rate schools from its inspections will no longer be used. 

Schools that are due for inspection this year will now receive ratings based on the four existing subcategories, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development and leadership and management.

The measure was brought into force with "immediate effect" following the government's belief that a single grade is too simple and does not best reflect performance across different areas.  

In light of the change, we have put together a list of all the current Ofsted ratings for secondary schools in Havering before we start to see the new system in play.
