A ‘stuck’ school is a school that has:

• had consistently poor inspection outcomes throughout the last 13 years
• been judged to be inadequate, satisfactory or to require improvement in every inspection it’s had between 1 September 2007 and 31 August 2020
• had at least 4 full inspections in the period

When the school has become an academy, or changed its unique reference number for any other reason (such as being re-brokered in to a multi-academy trust), then the outcomes of inspections of the predecessor school are also included.

A ‘stuck’ school which improved to good between 31 August 2019 and 31 August 2020 is a school that has:

• been judged to be inadequate, satisfactory or to require improvement in every inspection it’s had between 1 September 2006 and 31 August 2019
• had at least 4 full inspections in the period
• been judged to be good in an inspection between 1 September 2019 and 31 August 2020
