Ofsted

Ofsted inspects schools to make sure children receive a high-quality education and that public money is used properly. Their inspections help schools to keep improving and give parents clear, independent information about how a school is performing. From November 2025, Ofsted will introduce a new report card system to replace the old single overall grade (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate).

Instead, schools will receive  a report card showing how they perform in several key areas, using a five-point scale from “Urgent Improvement Needed” to “Exceptional.”

Inspectors will look at areas such as:

Each school’s report card will include a short summary explaining the findings, highlighting both strengths and areas for development.

You can download Ofsted reports for The Avon Valley School and Performing Arts College from this page once they are published.
