Ofsted across the trust
8 of the trust's 19 schools carry a historic one-word grade; 11 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: 4 Outstanding, 4 Good; 11 have no overall grade. Historic overall grades and current report cards are different systems and are not averaged.
