- 90% of primary schools in Cambridgeshire with an Ofsted grade on record are rated Good or Outstanding (as of 31 May 2026): 2 Outstanding and 87 Good out of 99 graded schools. The England figure is 87%.
- How is the Gera School Quality Index for Cambridgeshire calculated?
- The Gera School Quality Index converts each school's Ofsted overall-effectiveness grade (Outstanding=4, Good=3, Requires improvement=2, Inadequate=1) to a mean grade, then rescales it to 0–100 as (mean − 1) ÷ 3 × 100. A score of 100 means every graded school is Outstanding; 0 means every graded school is Inadequate. Cambridgeshire (primary schools) scores 63, versus 66 for England.
- Why do some schools in Cambridgeshire have no Ofsted grade?
- From 1 September 2024, Ofsted graded inspections no longer issue an overall effectiveness grade, so schools inspected since then show 'Not judged'. These schools are excluded from the counts above, which reflect the most recent overall effectiveness grade on record. Ratings can be several years old for schools not recently re-inspected, so always check each school's inspection date on the Ofsted report.
