Barr's Hill secondary school has achieved top marks in its latest Ofsted report
Suspending children from school is something we rarely see from educators, especially at primary level. Teachers aim to keep kids in school, where they are safe, fed and learning.

A Sheffield nursery that two years ago was branded ‘inadequate’ by inspectors is back in Ofsted’s ‘good’ books. Teddies Nursery, in Kenwood Park Road, had been rated ‘good’ for nearly 15 years until a report in late 2022 stripped it of its record and handed it the lowest grade possible.
