SCHOOLS are regularly assessed by Ofsted to ensure they are up to scratch.

Ofsted usually inspects schools every four years or any time the watchdog has concerns.

Although inspectors usually give schools one working day's notice before an inspection, they can also inspect schools without warning.

We have listed below how every school in and around Braintree and Witham is rated by the education watchdog, according to their latest assessments.
