These are the 16 best schools in West Yorkshire for behaviour in 2026.
Under Ofsted’s new scoring system, one-word grades have been replaced with a colour-coded “traffic light” report card, split into seven categories: attendance and behaviour, early years, personal development, achievement, curriculum and teaching, inclusion, and leadership and governance.
They are rated either Exceptional, Strong standard, Expected standard, Needs attention and Urgent improvement.
Using these rankings, the Yorkshire Evening Post has compiled a list of the 16 West Yorkshire schools that have scored an Expected standard or better rating for attendance and behaviour during full Ofsted inspections in 2026 so far.
