1 in 8 schools are "inadequate"
Summary
This Annual Report from the education watchdog Ofsted states that more than one in eight English secondary schools were given "inadequate" status by school inspectors in 2006.
The Office for Standards in Education (Ofsted) is tasked with improving standards and quality of childcare and education for learners up to 19 years of age through regular inspection.
While almost 60% of schools were judged “good” or “outstanding”, 7% of primary schools and 2% of special schools were also found to be “inadequate”.
