How the new report cards work
Since November 2025 Ofsted grades each area of a school (achievement, teaching, behaviour, personal development, inclusion, leadership) on a five-point scale: exceptional, strong standard, expected standard, needs attention, urgent improvement. Safeguarding is met or not met. Across the 34 Liverpool report cards so far, the grades given were: expected standard 121 times, strong standard 60 times, needs attention 45 times, urgent improvement 6 times, exceptional 1 times.
Schools inspected before then have a single grade (outstanding, good, requires improvement or inadequate), or from September 2024 a grade for each area without an overall one. Short “ungraded” visits check a school is still at its last grade.
Where the figures come from
Ofsted publishes the latest inspection of every state-funded school each month, under the Open Government Licence. We keep those at L postcodes and show here the ones in Liverpool. Independent schools and childminders aren’t included. Each school links to its full report on the Ofsted website.
