The Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills is responsible for inspecting schools and other educational facilities in England.
All schools are inspected on a number of factors including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, leadership, development and more.
At the end of an inspection, each school is given a rating of either outstanding, good, requires improvement, and inadeqate – outstanding being the best rating a school can receive.
