Of these one was a secondary school, three were primary schools, two were special schools and one was a nursery.
Schools and nurseries can be rated one of four grades: outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate, with a mix of ratings being given out this month.
If a school/nursery requires improvement, it is put under special measures, whilst good schools/nurseries are checked less frequently.
