Outstanding (2021)Ungraded inspection — “School remains Outstanding” (previous grade confirmed, not re-graded)

This school has not yet been inspected under the report-card system introduced in November 2025. When it is, this section will show a grade for each area — Ofsted says the new grades do not map onto the old ones, so we do not predict them.

Inspected 22 September 2021, published 14 November 2021. Read the full Ofsted report

England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.

First-choice demand varies year to year, and the school’s admission criteria — not demand — decide who is offered a place. Use this as a rough signal, never a prediction.
