Oftsed inspections may have been suspended until 2021 due to the coronavirus crisis but that doesn't mean choosing the right secondary school for your child can be put on hold.
So with that in mind, we've put together a comprehensive list of all the 'current' Ofsted ratings for secondary schools in Burnley, Pendle, Rossendale and the Ribble Valley.
For full details and comments, please head to the Government's website.
Please bear in mind that these ratings are from the last inspections carried out by Ofsted.

No secondary schools within Burnley, Rossendale, Pendle or the Ribble Valley were rated as Inadequate.
On March 17, Ofsted temporarily suspended its routine full inspections of schools, colleges, early years settings, children’s social care providers and local authorities to reduce the burden on staff who were providing vital services to the nation in response to coronavirus.
Routine full inspections are due to re-commence in 2021, although no official date has been announced.
