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