We regularly publish new Ofsted reports at the Lancashire Telegraph, but you may be wondering how every school across Blackburn with Darwen is rated according to their most recent inspection.

Here is the most up-to-date list according to the Ofsted website of how the borough's schools are performing.

A dozen of the borough's schools have the top rating of outstanding from Ofsted, while more than 50 are rated good.

Only four are rated as requiring improvement, while just one is rated inadequate.

Some schools may have recently been visited by Ofsted, but the inspection report has yet to be published.
