Children in Kent will return to the classroom this week.
Some schools are well aware they've been rated outstanding while others are left figuring out how to halt the spiralling decline into inadequacy.
Ofsted, the government department responsible for inspecting educational institutions, has four tiers of rating schools after an inspection.
These range from outstanding, good, requires improvement and inadequate.
Schools can be placed into special measures if they are deemed to be unable to improve without additional help.
On the other end of the spectrum, schools rated outstanding are exempt from inspection - but this is set to change according to education secretary Gavin Williamson.
Here is every primary school and secondary school that has had a full Ofsted inspection in 2019 and the rating that they received.

Annual nursery costs for a child under two in England have fallen for the first time in 15 years, according to the children's charity Coram. It comes as the government continues to roll out its funded childcare scheme, which will provide all eligible working parents of pre-school children, not only three and four-year-olds as currently, with 30 hours of childcare per week from September. However, some nurseries and childminders say they may have to drop out of the scheme as government funding struggles to meet rising costs, including National Insurance increases from April.
