Over the last few weeks we have shown you the ratings of every pub, café, restaurant and takeaway in Leek - now it's time to find out how the town's schools and nurseries rank when it comes to food hygiene.

Staffordshire Moorlands District Council inspectors ensure safety standards across the borough and dish out a rating to all food venues ranging from 0 (urgent improvement necessary) to 5 (very good).

The ratings cover the areas of food handling, cleanliness of the building and facilities, and food safety management.

We have compiled a list of all of the ratings for every school and nursery in Leek listed on the Food Hygiene Agency website.
