Education watchdog Ofsted usually visits schools every four years with inspections lasting around two days.
According to the latest data, 26 schools and colleges in Hartlepool have been rated “good” and seven have been deemed “outstanding”.
“Outstanding” is the highest of the four Ofsted grades and is followed by “good”, “requires improvement” and “inadequate”.
