This month marks the start of the new 2024-2025 school term, and the first term to see a big change in how Ofsted will grade schools.

According to the government's website, single headline grades for schools will be removed "with immediate effect."

The goal is to “improve school standards and provide greater transparency for parents."

The government believes using just one grade to judge a school is too simple because it doesn't show how well the school is doing in all different areas.

We have compiled a list of the ratings of all of the primary schools in Sutton prior to the change as well as the date their most recent Ofsted report was published.

Requires improvement:

Brookways School – March 17, 2023

Secretary of State for Education Bridget Phillipson said: “The need for Ofsted reform to drive high and rising standards for all our children in every school is overwhelmingly clear.

“The removal of headline grades is a generational reform and a landmark moment for children, parents, and teachers.

“Single headline grades are low information for parents and high stakes for schools.

“Parents deserve a much clearer, much broader picture of how schools are performing – that’s what our report cards will provide.

“This government will make inspection a more powerful, more transparent tool for driving school improvement.

“We promised change, and now we are delivering.”
