Inspection and language in Powys

Powys is in Wales, where schools are inspected by Estyn. Its reports have carried no grades since 2022: each school’s page gives its follow-up category, when it was last inspected (with the judgements of an inspection from before 2022) and links to its Estyn reports. School-level exam results for Wales are published on My Local School.

Estyn has 6 of Powys’s schools in a follow-up category (such as special measures or significant improvement): the tables below say which.
