Revealed: 11 South Tyneside schools rated '˜outstanding' by Ofsted
These South Tyneside schools have reason to celebrate after being given the highest possible rating by Ofsted at their last full inspections.
Four ratings can be given by the education watchdog - and we certainly have something to be proud of in our borough, with 11 schools scoring an outstanding grade.
Ofsted can also grade a school as good, requires improvement or inadequate.
The schools in our gallery have had their inspections carried out from 2008 up until March last year.
The ratings in our above picture gallery were correct at time of publication, and are listed on the Ofsted website.
