Ofsted across the trust
6 of the trust's 15 schools carry a historic one-word grade; 9 do not. Current report cards grade separate aspects and cannot be reduced to a replacement overall score. A trust that has taken on struggling schools may carry their old grades for years. What changed.
Ofsted outcomes across this trust are mixed: 5 Good, 1 Inadequate; 9 have no overall grade. Historic overall grades and current report cards are different systems and are not averaged.
