Ofsted across the trust
16 of the trust's 21 schools carry a historic one-word grade; 5 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: 16 Good; 5 have no overall grade. Historic overall grades and current report cards are different systems and are not averaged.
