The proportion scoring worse than a good ranking rose from 31 per cent to 40 per cent in the last year, Ofsted will reveal in its annual report on Wednesday.

“The most basic checks are not always in place.”

Inspectors will also report that some independent faith schools, of which there are more than 300 in total, were found to be harbouring “sexist and sectarian literature”.
