Lincolnshire schools have received a wave of bad grades from Ofsted this year.
Of the 63 ratings published this year, approximately a third of schools were told they weren’t good enough.
17 schools or academies Require Improvement in 2022, and four were given the lowest grade of Inadequate.
Ofsted haven’t responded to the LDRS’ questions about whether there has been a decline in school local standards.
This was the first full year of inspections for the regulatory body since Covid, during which schools turned to remote learning and children often had to self-isolate.
Previously-exempt schools are also facing new inspections.
Just two Lincolnshire schools and academies got the top grade of Outstanding this year. 41 schools were rated Good.
Ofsted have said that schools across the country are struggling to recruit enough teachers, and there are still high levels of staff absence due to Covid.
Since 2021, it has also scrapped its policy of not inspecting Good or Outstanding schools without specific concerns, meaning some are being visited for the first time in years.
Approximately 10% of all of Lincolnshire learning facilities are rated Requires Improvement or Inadequate, including those rated before the pandemic.
Concerns have recently been raised about local education standards, with Councillor Richard Davies saying “hundreds of children are being let down over at least a decade. That’s a scandal and we need to do something.”
Here are all of the schools and academies currently told they aren’t good enough, according to the Ofsted website.
Correction: The article originally stated that Weston Hills Primary School’s latest rating was Requires Improvement. We are happy to clarify it has now been rated Good.

Carole Glover’s transformation into a Brahma Kumaris over 25 years ago marked a pivotal turn in her life, providing clarity on her previous life experiences.
The spiritual movement was founded in the 1930s by Dada Lekhraj Kripalani, a visionary Indian businessman, also known by the name of Prajapita Brahma Baba. He then passed it over to a trust administered by a group of women who have run it ever since. After experiencing a series of visions in 1936, he was inspired to create a school where the “principles and practices of a virtuous and meditative life could be taught.”
