More schools are failing Ofsted checks
More schools are being judged inadequate under a new inspection regime, figures from England's schools watchdog Ofsted show.
Half of the 2140 schools inspected in the autumn were found to be either satisfactory or inadequate.
The proportion of schools classed as inadequate has more than doubled to 10%, compared with 4% in the 2008/2009 inspection period.
Ofsted said the findings reflected its "sharper focus on weaker schools".
