Thousands of Southampton children will be starting school this September.

Whether in early years, primary or secondary school, parents will want to know how schools have been rated by Ofsted.

The education watchdog regularly inspects schools to monitor anything from the quality of teaching to pupils' behaviour.

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

Below is a list of all the Southampton schools and early years settings rated by Ofsted in the last three months.
