For the separate topics of inspection, the school received good and satisfactory grades.

The 2006 Ofsted report averaged the college at a satisfactory grade.

An average mark of 7 can therefore be considered as a satisfactory grade if the student performs to be in the top of his class.

Institutions generally require a minimum satisfactory grade in each course taken.

Why not just stop awarding these schools a 'satisfactory' grade, and instead label them 'inadequate'?

In isolation from the wider context, getting rid of a 'satisfactory' grade is a good thing.

Subject to consultation, the satisfactory grade will become "requires improvement".

Upon completion of this level of schooling, students with satisfactory grades have the option to continue their education for two additional years.

Students obtaining a satisfactory grade will be promoted to Form Six.

This will be one of four grades - outstanding, good, satisfactory or inadequate.
