Ofsted graded 6 areas: curriculum and teaching — Strong Standard; achievement — Strong Standard; behaviour and routines — Strong Standard; welfare and wellbeing — Strong Standard; inclusion — Strong Standard; leadership and governance — Strong Standard. Each area is judged separately, so a setting can be stronger in one than another.
