Based on the most recent published single-word Ofsted grades. Ofsted stopped issuing overall grades (Outstanding, Good, Requires Improvement, Inadequate) in September 2024, so schools inspected more recently — under Ofsted’s report cards — may not have one. Figures cover the 75 of 220 schools here that have a published grade.

Manchester has 220 schools across 8 towns — 137 primary, 30 secondary, educating around 97,513 pupils. 76% of schools with a published Ofsted grade are rated Good or Outstanding (57 of 75). There are currently 67 open teaching jobs in Manchester. Browse schools by town, compare Ofsted ratings and exam results, and find teaching jobs across Manchester.
