Moorgate Primary School

Ofsted

●Outstanding (2023) — 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 20 April 2023, published 15 June 2023. Read the full Ofsted report

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

Exam results

“Not published (small cohort)” means the DfE suppressed the figure to protect small cohorts — it is not a zero.

Will my child get in?

Heavily oversubscribed — 2.46 first-choice applications per place (Sept 2026 entry)

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.
