More white working-class schools are ‘inadequate’
Schools in poor white communities are much more likely to be rated “inadequate” or “requires improvement” by Ofsted compared with those in deprived, non-white British areas.
While nearly half (47%) of the most deprived secondary schools with a “high percentage” of white British pupils are rated “inadequate” or “requires improvement”, the proportion is just 18% for similarly deprived schools where most pupils are non-white British.
According to the Ofsted analysis, there are significant differences in inspection results between schools based on their ethnic make-up.
The latest Ofsted data on schools’ overall effectiveness, which goes up to 30th April 2018, shows that of schools with a high non-white British pupil population, 29% in the most deprived quintile were rated “outstanding”.
