Schools across England continue to struggle to return to normal after nearly two years' of disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

There are currently 376 secondary schools rated by Ofsted as either Inadequate, in Special Measures, or having a Serious Weakness - this represents just over 10% of the total 3,473 schools across the nation.  

The schools are rated on a sliding scale from Outstanding at the top, through to Good, Requires Improvement, and ending on Inadequate, at the bottom.

Once a school is deemed inadequate it can be judged to have Serious Weaknesses or even placed into Special Measures. 

Pupils of some of the facilities inspected said they did not feel safe going into school, while others offered inadequate support to students with special needs. Violence and bullying was also a recurring theme.
