What do the Ofsted ratings shown for SE8 schools mean?
Of the 20 schools within 1.5km of the SE8 centre that we matched to an Ofsted record, 0 are rated Outstanding and 14 Good at their last graded inspection, and 6 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.
