Where can I find lists of schools in special measures/serious weaknesses?
A. Ofsted publishes termly lists of schools causing concern. They are in the publications section A–Z under ‘D’ for ‘Data on schools causing concern…’. Included are lists of schools removed from these categories during a term. There is also information on colleges that are considered to be inadequate. Please note that the information was correct and up-to-date at the time of publication. To double check whether a school is still in a category causing concern, journalists should call the Ofsted press office on 020 7421 6899 / 5866 / 6622 / 6574, while other parties should direct their questions to the Ofsted helpline on 08456 404040, or email us at enquiries@ofsted.gov.uk.
