SOUTHAMPTON is home to dozens of nurseries, schools and colleges.

But where is the best place to send your child?

Schools are routinely inspected by education watchdog, Ofsted, to monitor anything from the quality of teaching to pupils' behaviour.

They are then given one of four ratings: 'outstanding', 'good', 'requires improvement' or 'inadequate'.

Here is a full list of all the schools in and around Southampton that are working hard to improve after being rated 'inadequate' or 'requires improvement'.

The information below is based on the latest Ofsted reports.

You can see a list of Southampton schools rated 'outstanding' here.
