60 of the 147 schools in Ofsted's file have an overall grade from a graded inspection between September 2019 and July 2024.

16 schools have a report card from the renewed framework (from November 2025), which gives no overall grade.

24 schools had a graded inspection from September 2024, when Ofsted stopped giving an overall grade.

Ofsted says grades from different frameworks can't be compared, and an old grade may not describe a school today. Latest inspections as at 30 September 2026.

Schools rated Outstanding in Shropshire

3 schools had Outstanding as the overall grade at their latest graded inspection, which is the date given. A later ungraded inspection, shown in the table, may say more.
