HM Chief Inspector raises concerns about secondary schools

04/07/16

Fifty seven per cent of secondary schools are good or outstanding, according to new statistics.

Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector Sir Michael Wilshaw has issued another warning about the regional divide in England’s education system after the age of 11.

Official statistics published show that of 416 secondary schools inspected between 1 September 2015 and 31 March 2016, just 57% were judged to be good or outstanding.

The figures also show that of the 24 local authority areas where less than 60% of secondary schools were judged good or outstanding at their most recent inspection, 17 are in the north and midlands.
