The educational watchdog Ofsted visited 14 mainstream schools across the boroughs of Fylde and Wyre between January 1 2024 and December 26 2025.
Educational establishments can be rated one of four grades - outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate - with a mix of ratings being given out throughout the year.
As of September 2024 however, Ofsted also changed the way it inspects school so that in the more recent reports, no overall effectiveness rating is given instead just individual ratings across categories.
Take a look at all the Fylde and Wyre schools with new Ofsted this year below, including their classifications, highlights and areas that require improvement…
