In the ‘School accountability reform – school profiles improvement and Intervention’ consultation, the department defined stuck school as a school that was graded requires improvement, or equivalent, at its most recent Ofsted inspection and was also graded below good at its previous inspection.

For this purpose, we have considered a sub-judgement of requires improvement for leadership and management and/or quality of education for a school inspected in the 2024/25 academic year as equivalent to a previous single headline grade of requires improvement.

Based on the latest published Ofsted inspection data, at the end of December 2024 there were:

  • 0 stuck schools in Broxtowe.
  • 12 stuck schools in Nottinghamshire.
  • 664 stuck schools in England.
