Standards and monitoring
Plymouth schools and colleges continue to achieve and maintain high standards of teaching and learning.
The Office for Standards in Education (OfSTED) regularly inspects all maintained schools and colleges as well as local authorities (LAs). The Plymouth Joint Area Review (JAR) report was published in December 2006 following an inspection in autumn 2006. In the report it was noted that the impact of local services in Plymouth to help children and young people to enjoy their education and achieve well was good. The report highlighted a wide range of areas of good performance from early years education to sport and recreational opportunities. It was also indicated that support for school improvement was good and attainment was improving in all key stages.
The full JAR review for Plymouth schools/colleges as well as the LA report can be downloaded from the documents table below. Further information is available from the OfSTED website.
