What do the Ofsted ratings shown for NR1 schools mean?
Of the 10 schools within 1.5km of the NR1 centre that we matched to an Ofsted record, 2 are rated Outstanding and 5 Good at their last graded inspection, and 3 have no current grade because Ofsted stopped giving single-word judgements in September 2024. Inspections can be years apart, so treat a rating as the last formal verdict rather than a description of the school today.
