In September and October, 12 schools, nurseries and training providers across Blackpool and the Fylde Coast received new Ofsted reports.
Educational establishments can be rated one of four grades: outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate, with a mix of ratings being given out this month.
If a school/nursery requires improvement, it is put under special measures, whilst good schools are checked less frequently.
