Education watchdog Ofsted usually visits schools every four years with inspections lasting around two days.
According to the latest data, 27 schools and colleges in Hartlepool have been given the “good” grade, while six have been deemed “outstanding”.
“Outstanding” is the highest of four Ofsted grades and is followed by “good”, “requires improvement” and “inadequate”.
