According to financial years 2018/19 and 2019/20 programme data up to March 2020, and Ofsted rating data from Get Information About Schools at the same time, nationally:

a) 17 (0.6%) education settings enrolled to work with Mental Health Support Teams (MHSTs) had an Inadequate Ofsted rating;

b) 306 (10.4%) had a Requires Improvement rating;

c) 1,794 (60.9%) had a Good rating; and

d) 398 (13.5%) had an Outstanding rating.

In total, 423 schools (14.4%) did not have an Ofsted rating.

According to financial years 2018/19 and 2019/20 programme data up to March 2020, and Ofsted rating data from Get Information About Schools at the same time, in London:

a) 0 (0%) education settings enrolled to work with MHSTs had an Inadequate Ofsted rating;

b) 19 (3.2%) had a Requires Improvement rating;

c) 371 (61.8%) had a Good rating; and

d) 143 (23.8%) had an Outstanding rating.

In total, 64 schools (10.7%) did not have an Ofsted rating.

Please note that the figures are based on education settings reported to the department that have enrolled in the programme as of March 2020, and Ofsted data accessed via Get Information About Schools (GIAS) at the same time. These figures are based only on those education settings reported as enrolled that could be matched via their Unique Reference Number to data in GIAS. As the programme progresses, and the number of MHSTs and therefore participating education settings increase, these numbers will vary. It is also important to note that participating education settings’ Ofsted inspection ratings will also change throughout the programme, depending on scheduled inspections and resulting reports.
