Letter from Christine Gilbert, dated 11 February 2010:
Your recent parliamentary questions have been passed to me, as Her Majesty's Chief Inspector, for response.
The latest period for which published figures about maintained school section 5 inspection outcomes are available is the academic year 2008/09. This answer, therefore, takes into account inspections carried out prior to 1 September 2009.
At 1 December 2009 there were 22,260 schools open and eligible for a section 5 Ofsted inspection. Of these, 21,920 had received at least one section 5 inspection. These schools, together with their latest inspection judgements, form the basis for the response.
Of the 21,920 schools, 3,577 (16%) were judged as outstanding for overall effectiveness at their last inspection, 11,033 (50%) were judged as good, 6,950 (32%) were judged as satisfactory and 360 (2%) were found to be inadequate.
Of the 21,920 schools, 3,972 (18%) were judged as outstanding for leadership and management at their last inspection and 222 (1%) were judged as inadequate.
Of the 222 schools judged to have inadequate leadership and management, all were judged to be inadequate for overall effectiveness.
Of the 21,920 schools, 48 were judged to have inadequate behaviour. Of these, 9 were judged to be satisfactory for overall effectiveness and 39 were judged as inadequate. None was found to be outstanding or good for overall effectiveness,
A copy of this reply has been sent to Vernon Coaker MP, Minister of State for Schools and Learners, and placed in the library of both Houses.
